The Archive Details Section

In the Archive Details section, a list of all the archives in your system appears. To access an archive, select it. In this section, you can:
  • Close an archive by selecting Close Archive.
This topic describes the fields in each subsection in the Archive Details section.
Note: You cannot back up and restore data using Historian Administrator. This is because the backup and restore functions are performed using Elastic File System (EFS).
