The Add New Data Store window appears.
In the Data Store Name field, enter the name of the data store.

Note: The following special characters cannot be used in data store names: /\ \ * ? < > |
In the Description field, enter the description of the data store.
Select the Default Data Store check box to set this data store as the default data store for adding tags. (optional)
Select OK to add the data store.
A message appears indicating that a data store has been added. When you add tags to the new data store, it will have its own set of .IHA (iHistorian Archive) files. Ensure that you back up the new data store archives periodically.
