For most applications, you can specify a file name and path (directory) for each archive application associated with each set of archive criteria, and the file name and path for one archive log application. This file name and path will be used on the destination computer specified for all archives of the selected application. The destination computer (either a server or your local computer) is specified on the Basics panel of the Archive Settings dialog box.

If you want to archive onto some other medium than your hard drive, for example onto a writeable CD, you can enter the path to the medium here.

Note You can create more than one archive application for a selected application by creating multiple sets of criteria, but you can create only one archive log, which will describe all of the archive activity associated with your application.

1. If necessary, open the application to archive (for example, your mail), and then click Actions > Archive > Settings.

2. Do one of the following:

• Click Criteria, click Create or select a criteria set and click Edit, and then type a file name or leave the default file name under the Copy documents into my archive application specified here, then clean up this application field, or click the folder icon and specify or browse to the directory where you want to save the archive or archive log.
• Click Advanced, and then type a file name or leave the default file name under the Log all archiving activity into a log field, or click the folder icon and specify or browse to the directory where you want to save the archive or archive log.
