To increase the security of your database system, we recommend that you archive the version files created during Structure linkLog Backup and stored on the hard disk of your system at regular intervals (Structure linkVersion Files). To do this, copy the version files to another backup medium. (See also: Structure linkBackup Strategy)

You can perform this process manually or use Structure linkexternal backup tools.
For information about which external backup tools are supported by the Database Manager CLI, see the Backing Up with External Backup Tools section.

There are DBM commands available for archiving with external backup tools, with which you can copy the version files once or several times to external backup media.
