History retention what is the archive

Post by Daydreamer057 »

Hi
In options-> switches -> post processing -> history retention there are several choices.
One is "move jobs to the archive after specified number of days".
What is the archive and where is it located ?

Thank you for your help.

On the main page, below the history on the right there is the button to toggle the Archive.
This is where jobs go if you delete them from the history, just like in your email client etc. You can also choose to permanently delete jobs directly if you don't want an archive.

I'm sorry but I don't see the button.
But I understand your response concerning the archive.
Thank you.

It's a square box with an arrow in it. Just hover over the buttons at the bottom right and it will show tooltip.

OK I found it.
If I understand correctly, the archive contains only nzb files ?

It's just another layer in the history, nothing too special. But useful if you want to use duplicate detection while still having a clean History.
