Understanding the Vault Archive Wizard results
After the Vault Archive Wizard has completed, a number of files and sub-folders will have been created in the output folder that you selected:
- Documents: Archive copies of the documents residing in the selected vault source folder.
- Sub-folders: If no prior revisions were archived, the sub-folder structure of the archive source folder is reproduced to contain archived copies of each sub-folder’s contents.
If prior revisions of documents were archived, sub-folders with names containing year and month numbers are created and contain sub-folders with names containing date numbers. These dates are the dates that one or more revisions were started (not released). The files in these folders have the source document names appended with .Rev X where X is the revision number that was started on the date indicated by the folder names. Thus, the prior revisions for any particular document do not reside all in one folder, but may reside in several folders, each named for the start date of the corresponding revision.
- <VaultName>.ini: A mapping of vault property names to exported field names. Not all of the vault property names are valid for all of the available output formats so the field names are simplified to Field_0, Field_1, and so on.
- <VaultName>.log: A log of all archive activity performed. Review this file for errors if documents or metadata are missing.
- <VaultName>.met: A vault configuration file is generated so that the vault that was the source of the archived documents may be re-created, if necessary.
- <VaultName >.<FileExtension>: Document property data file of the archived documents in the format selected in the Vault Archive Wizard. The properties included in this file are specified in Configurator. Cross-reference these names with the vault property names listed in the [AMFieldMap] section in <VaultName>.ini.
- <VaultName>.reference.<FileExtension>: Reference property data file of the archived documents in the format selected in the Vault Archive Wizard.
- <VaultName>.folder.<FileExtension>: Folder property data file of the archived documents in the format selected in the Vault Archive Wizard. Cross-reference these names with the vault property names listed in the [AMFieldMap2] section in <VaultName>.ini.
