Archiving a partition

Data Security Manager Help | TRITON AP-DATA | Version 8.1.x

Incident partitions will automatically fill, but you can only keep 4 partitions online (if using SQL Server Express), and 8 partitions online (if using Microsoft SQL Server Standard or Enterprise). If you want to save older partitions, you can archive them offline. The maximum local offline storage allowed is 12 partitions (approximately 3 years of records). To archive a partition:

Select the desired incident partition(s) in the Archiving screen.

Click Archive in the toolbar.

Review the list of partitions to be archived, adding comments if desired.
