Archiving and Restoring Data
Transferring Historical
Data onto Diskettes
In order to print historical reports from archived data, you must have archived
the system tables and historical data files for the days in which you're
interested. The system tables file contains the information that identifies the
lines, splits, and agents for which historical data have been saved. There-
fore, you must archive these files as detailed in the following discussion.
Up to four historical data files and one system tables file fit on a single 360KB
5 1/4 inch diskette. The 1.44MB storage on a 3 1/2 inch diskette has a capa-
city for four times more storage, or sixteen historical data files and four sys-
tem tables.
If you need to clear space on the hard disk, you can save several files on a
diskette, then erase them from the hard disk. First save the four oldest data
files and the oldest system table on a diskette using the procedures given in
this section. After you verify that the files were saved, erase those files from
the hard disk using the procedures given in Chapter
a regular schedule, such as once a month, you can avoid running out of
space on the hard disk.
Figure 8-1 shows the locations of the directories and files CMS uses.
