Scheduling public folder archiving

First you must check if the public folder has had the archiving option activated (see Activating public folder archiving ). Folders activated for archiving are displayed in green. You can now schedule archiving by assigning a job (see Creating a job ).

Jobs tab

On this tab you can define jobs for automated archiving. Archiving with jobs is done in the background – with predefined settings.

You may for instance schedule your database backup overnight.

At first there may not be jobs defined, as seen below. You must create them.
