Section 7 Configuring Archives
Maintaining Archive Media
The media where archive data is written will eventually become full and need to be
replaced or erased to make room for new archive data. When an archive device is
configured, consider generating an alarm message when the media is approaching
full capacity. Use a desktop application, such as DataDirect, to read these messages
periodically to check the status of the archive media.
MO Media
For MO archive media, the platter must be removed and replaced when it becomes
full. The new platter must then be initialized. Refer to:

Hard Disk Media
When archiving to a hard disk, it is strongly recommended that an archive backup
function be configured. With archive backup, when a volume becomes full, the
contents are written to an ISO Image file at a specified location. These files can then
be burned onto CD ROM or DVD media for permanent storage. Rather than write
ISO image files, specify that a backup copy of the archive be created at the specified
location. Both an ISO image and a shadow copy can be created. Once the entries
have been saved to a removable media, the hard disk must be periodically purged of
old entries to provide space for new entries.
