Archive and restore

 

 

 

 

 

This command allows to archive/restore a project or a library.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Select the Archive command accessible either from the context menu in the project/library manager or directly on a project/library in the Others > Archive... context command.

 

  1. If needed, add name and/or comment to the project to archive.

  2. Validate.

 

 

 
  • Projects are archived asynchronously and stored in a specific folder defined in the vault Advanced management window of the PDM (Local or Server). Each archive has an identifier recognized by the issuing PDM. Archived project files are then automatically deleted from the vault.
  • In the project manager, a new icon at the top right of the window shows the archived projects.
  • You can Restore an archived project by right-clicking on it and selecting the Restore command from the context menu.
  • The keyboard shortcut Shift+Delete on an archive allows you to purge it.
  • If security is enabled in TopSolid, the user must have administrator rights to perform archiving.
  • If the archive destination is on the network or on a NAS, the user account that runs the PDM service must have write permissions on the destination folder. The local account has no rights on the network.
