Follow these recommendations if you want to install multiple archives and are required to store your data on large network drives.
We strongly recommend acquiring a dedicated Windows machine to use just for archiving purposes. It should be a server that can remain active and online, as Scheduled Archive is required to be updated once a day.
Note: The only files stored in the C: drive should be the archive software files, the archive database and some configuration files. We advise them to be stored on a local drive as the performance of the archive will depend directly on the read/write speed of the drive. Storing the software files on network storage will cause the archive to perform slower and may cause issues.
