Archive

The system manager sets the time to archive the database files from the console. He enters time and day archive in the Daily, Weekly, and Monthly surrender to DOS fields on the application general settings screen.

When the system reaches the time to archive, it exits to DOS and performs the command set to archive the database. A new database archive file is created and then copied to the ARCHIVE directory as the current file to move the previous archive to second most recent.

The following archive error conditions may be encountered by EliteMail

VMS/EliteMail Limited:

Unable to create new database archive

This could be caused by lack of disk space or missing database or system files. EliteMail aborts the operation, reboots the system, and logs an error message.

Unable to move existing database archive to second place

This could be caused by lack of drive space or general drive failure. EliteMail aborts the operation, reboots the system, and logs an error message.

Unable to copy new database archive to the ARCHIVE directory

This could be caused by lack of drive space or general drive failure.

EliteMail aborts the operation, reboots the system, and tries to log an

￿error message.

Corruption of the hard drive subsystem

This major error usually results in an unusable system that probably does not return to normal operation after rebooting. Console maintenance is usually required.

Restore

EliteMail VMS/EliteMail Limited can restore the default database or either ￿of the two most recent archives using one of the following methods:

The first method is fully autonomous. When restarted, EliteMail examines the working directory database, and, if the database is missing or damaged beyond repair, it deletes remnants of corrupt data from the drive and dearchives the data from the ARCHIVE directory. When restoring, the system uses the most recent database archive if one exists. If a database archive does not exist on the drive, the default database is restored.
