Using the local archive explorer

The local archive explorer allows you to view and manipulate the
files that you have archived locally. You can view each file's
name, type, location, size, state (archived, not archived, or
archive in progress), and the date on which each file was last
archived. You can also sort the files by any of these criteria.
If you have a large archive, you can find a file quickly by searching
for it. You can search for all or part of a file's name or path and
can then narrow your search by specifying the approximate file
size and the date on which it was last archived.
After you locate a file, you can open it directly in the local archive
explorer. Data Backup opens the file in its native program,
allowing you to make changes without leaving the local archive
explorer. The file is saved to the original watch location on your
computer and is archived automatically according to the archive
schedule you have defined.
