Businesses often use long-term storage to archive both compliant and non-compliant data. The archive feature in Rapid Recovery is used to support the extended retention for compliant and non-compliant data. The administrator can save an archive on the local storage or network location by specifying the /Path
command and credentials.
Usage
The usage for the command is as follows:
Start-Archive -path -startdate -enddate [-all] | -protectedserver [machine name] or [IP]] -core [host name] -user [user name] -password [password]
