MAIL

Specifying a schedule for client-based archiving
You can customize archive settings to specify when your documents are archived and where the archive schedule is run.

When your mail is set to use client-based archiving through criteria you create yourself, you have control over the schedule for archiving. If an administration policy has specified client-based archiving for your mail, you may also have control over the schedule, depending on how the administrator created the policy.

You can select days and a time for archiving, and specify in which locations to run the archive schedule. For example, you may want to archive only at the office on a desktop computer that has more memory than a laptop you use outside the office.

When your mail is set to use server-based archiving, you have no control over the schedule. Archiving is performed nightly by the Domino server. You can turn your own computer off without interfering with archiving.

Note: Where the archiving is performed is not necessarily the same as where the application is or where the archive will be. For example, your IBM Lotus NotesR client may perform an archive of a server-based application, and it may archive to your computer or to a different server than the mail server.

1. If necessary, open the application to set up a schedule for (for example, your mail), and then click Actions > Archive > Settings > Schedule.

2. Select Schedule archiving.


3. Select a time from the Run at field by clicking the clock icon, dragging to the time you want, and then clicking the check mark.
4. Select all the days on which you want archiving to run.

5. (Optional) Leave Any location selected, or click Specific location and select the locations where you want archiving to run.

6. (Optional) To remove your customizations, click Reset to default.

7. Click OK.
