To register Archive Files:

Changing Optim Servers

Archive, Delete, or Restore Requests can contain references to a specific Optim Server. If you change the location of an Optim Server, you must also change these references before using the Archive, Delete, and Restore Requests again.

After you change the location of your Optim Servers, you must do the following to access your Archive Files:

  1. Use the Archive Registration Utility to register your existing Archive Files. If you have not deleted the original Archive Directory entries, you will be prompted to do so.
  2. Modify any predefined or default Archive, Delete, or Restore Requests that reference invalid files or directories on an Optim Server.
  3. Open the Archive tab of the Personal Options dialog to change the default Archive Directory, Archive Index Directory, and Archive Browse Index Directory, if needed.
Note: You might not be able to browse Control Files, unless you place the Archive Files in the same directory structure on the new Optim Server.
