Archive Database Help
The database archival option saves disk space by compressing the data in the database. The compressed data remains accessible for reading or for displaying system information. The archiving must be done from the command line to preserve data integrity. The archiving program will shutdown the Embedded Support Partner for a brief period of time and restart after the archiving is complete. The archiving can be run as root only. To archive the database, run the command esparchive. The archiving will be done only if the database size is equal to or greater than 10 megabytes.
