An Archive Task can be created to archive data no longer needed in PhixFlow for processing. When a Stream is archived, PhixFlow creates an Archive Log with useful details of the data archived. Optionally, the archived data can be saved to a file. If this is done, the data can reloaded into PhixFlow using Restore Archive.

If you set up an archive task with no stream added, all streams configured for archive will be archived by this task, unless this stream has been added to another archive task. Even if you set up a catch-all archive task in this way, you might still want to have separate archiving for certain streams if they contain large amounts of data for each run, in which case archiving can sometimes task a while - this means you can schedule archiving for these streams in particular at a time when you system is quiet.
