Specifying the file path for an archive or archive log application
For most applications, you can specify a file name and path (directory) for each archive application associated with each set of archive criteria, and the file name and path for one archive log application. This file name and path will be used on the destination computer specified for all archives of the selected application. The destination computer (either a server or your local computer) is specified on the Basics panel of the Archive Settings dialog box.

Note: For an overview of the process for archiving your mail, see Archiving mail messages to free up space.
