Set up archiving

1. Create three archive objects - open the DevTech folder and drag the New Archive template to the desktop. For this example, name the archives System, Applications, and Personal, respectively.

   Each archive will be stored in a separate location on different servers. The System and Applications archives should be in public, read-only locations. The Personal archive should be in the user's home directory. The following are examples of repository names:

   System        \\server-x\alias1\system.drp
   Applications  \\server-y\alias2\apps.drp
   Personal      \\server-z\alias3\personal.drp
   

   When designating file names and locations, DeskMan/2 supports names conforming to the Universal Naming Convention (UNC).

2. Enable archiving for individual folders - Go to the WPS Extensions Settings Notebook, DM/2 Archive page, and select the Allow archiving options overrides checkbox.

   Note : Do not enable automatic object archiving on this page.

3. Enable and configure archiving for each of the three folders - Go to the first DM/2 Archive page of each folder's settings notebook, and:
   • Enable Enable automatic object archiving.
   • Disable Inherit options from parent.
   • Select the archive to use in each case in the Associated archive object list box. Use the System archive for the System folder, the Applications archive for the Applications folder, and the Personal archive for the Personal folder.
   • For the Personal folder, select Replace in the On refresh section to always overwrite existing objects when refreshing. This will completely synchronize the folder with the archive and will occur each time the folder is opened.
   • On the Options sub-page of the DM/2 Archive page:
   • For all three archives, select Object settings more current than archive in the Close section of the page.
   • For the System and Applications archives, select Archive more current than the last refresh in the Open section of the page.
   • For the Personal folder, select Always refresh in the Open section of the page.
   • For all three archives, disable the Save menu items and Refresh menu items features in the Add Archive menu items area of the page.
