Archive Index information expedites the identification of archived data when browsing an Archive File, or restoring data in an Archive File.
Archive can search an index more quickly than it can search an entire Archive File. Use the Archive Index tab to define one or more indexes of values in one or more columns to use when searching for an Archive File that contains specific data.
You can define indexes in three ways:
You
can create up to 16 indexes for each table in an Archive File. Archive
automatically generates a name for each index. You can use this default
name, or edit the name according to your conventions. The generated
names are in the form “Indexn” where n is
a sequential number that provides a unique name for each index. After
you create an index, you can right-click the index name and select
ADD from the shortcut menu to create additional indexes. If you create
more than one index, click the column to display the list
of Index Columns for the corresponding Archive Index name.
Double-click a column name to move it from the Available Columns list to the Index Columns list. (You can also drag column names between lists.)
