Note!

This section is only valid for the Archiving agent.

To locate files in the archive, the Archive Inspector is used. The access group user is permitted to launch and purge these files. Once a file is located, it is treated as a regular UNIX file using regular UNIX commands to view or copy it.

Note!

It is not encouraged to alter or remove a file from the archive using UNIX commands. If altering is desired, make a copy of the file. If removal is desired, use the Archive Inspector.

To open the Archive Inspector, click the Manage button from the top menu bar, and then select Archive Inspector from the menu.
