Adding One or More Archives

About this task

You may need to add an archive when the current archive is almost full and you have not enabled automatic creation of archives.
Note: Historian now supports a maximum archive size of 256 GB per archive. When the current archive is full, the system will write to the next archive in the sequence in which it was created. As of Historian 7.0, Historian archives are time-based only.

Procedure

  1. In the Archives section, click the icon.
    The Add New Archive(s) dialog box appears.

  2. In the Archive Name field, enter the name of the archive. The archive name must be the same as the filename.
  3. In the File Location field, enter the path of the archive from a local drive or specify a UNC path.
  4. In the Archive Size (MB) field, enter the size of the file in MB that you want to create.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Click Cancel to stop the operation.
    If you cancel the operation, any archives already created during this operation will be deleted.
