To modify the definition of a variable, follow these steps:
Click Archive Settings in the left navigation frame of ColdFusion, then scroll down to the bottom of the Archive Settings page to click the variable name you to modify. The Variable Definition page appears.
In the Variable Definition page, modify any of the following fields:
In the Name
text box, type a name for the variable you want to define. The variable
name can
include up to 255
characters and cannot include the following characters:
* \ / : ?
" < > |
.,
In the Value text box, type in a full path for the location you want to archive or restore.
In the Description text box (optional), type comments to describe the purpose of the variable.
To proceed, do one of the following:
Click Save to save the variable definition and exit the Variable Definition page.
Click Cancel to exit the Variable Definition page without saving any changes.
Click Delete to delete the variable definition. (This button only appears when you are modifying a user-defined variable.)
Click Restore to restore the default settings. This button only appears when you are modifying a system-supplied variable.)
After you create a variable, you can use the variable when specifying "Files to include" or "Files to exclude" on the Archive Definition page.
If you restore an archive (.car file) that contains variables on another system, you must define the variables on that system prior to restoring the archive containing the variables. If you do not define the variables on that system prior to restoring the archive, the archive restore operation will fail.
Do not change the definition of a system-supplied variable, unless its location changes.
