Archive Database

Total Visual Agent's Archive Database Action saves an entire copy of your database, ADP or other files into a location you designate on your hard drive. You can save up to 99 copies (versions) of the same files.

Archive Access Database

Zipping and Password Protecting Archives

Compress Microsoft Access Database Backup ArchivesTotal Visual Agent can optionally compress your archived databases into Zip-compatible format and encrypt it with a password. Depending on the contents of your database, you can save substantial amounts of hard disk space by compressing the files into ZIP archives.

Archive Database Suggestions

  • Schedule archives for a time when no users are logged on to the database. Archives require exclusive use of the database by Total Visual Agent.
  • To protect against hardware failure, save backups onto a different machine than the original database.
  • For extra security, copy the saved archives to another location or cloud provider like Microsoft OneDrive. Use the Custom Command Action to do this automatically.
