Re: Can anyone comment on the reliability of the archive utilities in JBA?

<pre-reply disclaimer>
I'm a vendor - about to respond to this thread with a brief plug.  I think
it's within the guidelines of the list, but I apologize in advance if anyone
gets upset...
<end disclaimer>

My understanding of JBA is that it does little purging and no archiving.  If
you want to archive your data or clean up your files, you might want to
check out ARCTOOLS (http://www.arctools.com).  It will add archiving to any
existing purge routine, and it will purge and archive data (files that don't
have a purge program already) without programming.

I do have JBA users running the software.  I'm not sure what files they're
using it for, but I can find out.

Thanks.
