Using Archive Manager
Save Space with Archive Manager
Overview
The Archive Manager allows you to compress and/or extract any files from your
home directory. For example, if you have a number of files that you wish to backup,
you may select all the files, then create a backup file that contains all of them
in a compressed format.
Backups are an important precaution against loss or corruption of your files.
If something happens to your domain, you may use these files to restore it to
its original state. We advise that you store an extra copy of your backup off-network,
just in case. Backups may also be used for archival purposes.
Note: The compressed file will count against your disk quota.
To access the Archive Manager:
Click the Archive Manager icon in your Control Panel.
To compress a file or group of files:
