Use the Variable Definition page to define variables you want to use for specifying locations you want to archive or restore.
To access the Variable Definition page, click Archive Settings in the navigation frame of the ColdFusion Administrator. In the Archive Settings page scroll down to the Variable section and click Add. The Variable Definition page appears.
To define a variable for a location you want to archive or restore, follow these steps:
In the Variable Definition page, do the following:
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.
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.
