Automatic archiving

<p>If you process a lot of call information, you may notice gradual system performance
degradation during the running of TIM after a long time.  This is
because of the amount of call data TIM has to contend with.  The
<span class="reference">Automatic Archive</span> feature can automatically export your old call data
(after a predetermined period) as part of its start-up routine.  This
automatic process ensures that the system runs smoothly, whilst
freeing the operator of any backup duties.</p>

<p>Setting up the automatic archive feature requires you to edit the <span class="reference">Main
Configuration</span> file.  For information on how to do this, see the
<a href="Configuration & Setup">Configuration & Setup</a> section.</p>

<p>Open the <span class="reference">Main Configuration File</span> (<span class="keyword">main.cfg</span>) found in the  <span class="keyword">\config</span> folder within the main program folder. Amend the <span class="keyword">AAEvery</span> key to a value in days, as in the example below.  This tells the system how old calls should
be before backing them up.  The system also only performs the
automatic archive function once in the same period.  This ensures
that the calls get archived in blocks, rather than each day's data
being archived over a certain number of days old.</p>

<p>For example,  the line <span class="keyword">AAEvery = 30</span> tells the system to, firstly, perform the auto-archive function every
thirty days, and secondly, to archive any calls that were made or
received over thirty days ago.</p>
