annotation

A comment that you associate with an archive save set

 

to help identify that data later. Annotations are stored

 

in the media index for ease of searching and are

 

limited to 1,024 characters.

archive

The process by which NetWorker software backs up

 

directories or files to an archive volume and then

 

grooms them to free disk space. When data is

 

archived, it is written to one or more storage volumes

 

and then marked so that it is never subject to

 

automatic recycling. You can delete the archived files

 

from the client, thus freeing disk space. See also

 

grooming.
