Archiving in Connections Online Version 4.1
On the Site Admin page, request an Archive by using the Green add icon in the top left corner. Over the evening hours, it makes a full archive of the site. There are 3 ways to access archives:
1. From the Site Admin page in Version 4.1, click on the archive you want to view.
2. In Version 4.1, click the Archive icon on the right next to the Sign Out button. It will open the last accessed Archive, or ask you to pick one, and then take you to the current item that you are viewing,
if it exists in the archive.
3. Navigate directly to https://archive.connectionsonline.net
Users can use the Archive site just like the regular site except everything is read-only. The Archive site is colored differently than Version 4.1 so Users aren't confused about which version they are viewing. The current Archive information, date/time, description and the database name, are located on the right hand side in a bright orange box.
The limitations of the archiving are only 1 per day per site and also admins must plan ahead for the Archive to be executed in the evening. It is not immediate like the current archive as it is too large of a process to run during production hours.
Note: Please do not archive frequently as this feature is NOT a backup process where you need to archive every day for disaster recovery. We still have our nightly and monthly backups for those purposes.
