Archive and retrieve your data (Windows)

You can archive infrequently used files to the IBM Storage Protect server and retrieve them when necessary. Archiving and retrieving files is similar to backing up and restoring files.

Unless otherwise specified, references to Windows refer to all supported Windows operating systems.

You can complete the following primary archive and retrieve tasks by using the backup-archive client:

• Archiving data with the GUI
• Archive data examples by using the command line
• Deleting archive data
• Retrieving archives with the GUI
• Retrieve archive copies by using the command line

You can also archive and retrieve only files and directories remotely by using the web user interface.
