What is Archiving?
The archive feature allows moving message
logs out of the main database (to improve
performance), or re-importing them for use
with activity and audit reports.
Read Me: Archiving or purging on a regular basis is
highly recommended since the system can become
slow and/or unstable if database files become very
large.
Note: Archiving pertains to activity messages and/or
panel communications and database-update logs (from
all defined accounts). V4.1x software also supports /
converts v4.0x archives as well.
Tip: For message logs that will NOT be needed for
future reports, use the purge feature instead (to
follow).

Activity", and "Reporting on Operator Audits or Panel
Communications Logs"
