Archival and retrieval of jobs

To keep enough disk space free, back up jobs and their related files to an external server and then delete them from the Storage area. You can retrieve archived jobs and files later for further use.

Archiving is a method of backing up and storing a job and enables you to increase the available space on your disk. A cabinet file (a compressed file) that contains all the files related to the archived job is created at the selected location. The archived job retains its current status (that is, completed, failed, held, or aborted) and is archived with the information in its job parameters and its Job History windows.

Note: The CX print server automatically archives large jobs to several cabinet files.

When retrieved, the archived job retains the original job name, not the name assigned when archived.
