the sub-directories under the Web application directory.

You can reference a variable name that points to a location that you want to archive. Note that any variable name that you choose to reference must be defined using the Archive Settings page. Also note that all variable names being referenced must include the car.variable. prefix and must be enclosed within {curly brackets}. For example, if you had a variable called "mytempfiles", you would reference this name as:{car.variable.mytempfiles}.
