Performing a Command Line Archive

Use the archive command to archive files. Use wildcards to archive more than one file at a time. If you archive a directory of files, use the subdir=yes option to include all the subdirectories under that directory in the archive. For example, to archive the files in the d:\proj directory and the files in its subdirectories, you would enter:

   dsmc archive d:\proj\ -subdir=yes

You can enter up to 20 file names on the archive command. For example, to archive the a:\h2.doc and a:\test.doc files, you would enter:

   dsmc archive a:\h2.doc a:\test.doc

If you want to specify more than 20 file names, you can use the filelist option to specify a file containing a list of files for processing. See Filelist for more information.

Use the description option to assign a description to the archive:

   dsmc archive a:\h2.doc -description="Chapter 2, first version"

For more information about the archive command, see Archive.
