Archive is a command that creates an archive of the current state of a Project. At a later time, you can restore an archived version of a Project, overwriting any changes you have made since the last archive. Archived Projects are stored in the file store as a zip file.

Archive command

Introduction

The Archive command creates a versioned ZIP snapshot of a Project so you can preserve, audit, and roll back configuration as needed. Archiving saves a copy of the Project's configuration into a file attached to the Project.

Archive only works on the full Project. You cannot archive individual objects inside a Project or Batches.

When to use

Use Archive when you want to:

  • Retain a historical copy of a Project before making significant changes.
  • Recover from accidental modifications or deletions by rolling back to a known-good configuration.
  • Audit or inspect previously published configurations.

Prerequisites:

  • The Archive command is available on Projects.
  • To restore, the Project must have one or more archived ZIP files attached.
