10.6 Archiving Data
The objective of the archive function is to secure measurement data for future reference by exporting it to
external storage media. Measurement data must be secured at regular intervals and thereafter deleted from the
Measurement List in order to ensure enough storage capacity on the Cedex HiRes Control Unit. All data from
a single or a set of measurements, or optionally only the images, can be deleted from the database (DB) once the
measurement or measurements have been archived.
Archiving should only be performed by the Superuser or selected users.
Measurement data can later be restored from the archive, but restoring the data is only possible using the Cedex
HiRes Analyzer database from which the data has been archived.
Measurement data cannot be archived from one Cedex Software 2.4 DB and restored to a different Cedex
Software 2.4 DB. The Data Exchange (Import/Export) function must be used when the intention is to
import measurement data into a different DB. See “Data Exchange”, for more information about the Data
Exchange function.
All data should also be backed up on a regular basis. Archiving does not replace a backup strategy. Backups
of the database should be performed on a regular basis. See “Database Management”, for more information.
The Archive function should not be used while measurements are running. Using the Archive function in
parallel with measuring can increase the measurement duration.
