NAME
     esparchive - archiving utility for Embedded Support Partner

SYNOPSIS
     esparchive [ options ]

     options:

       -d,--database Database    Use Database as the path to the
                                 database to be archived

DESCRIPTION
     esparchive is a utility that is used for archiving the database in the
     Embedded Support Partner.  This is generally used to conserve space on
     the disk.  The archiving utility has to be launched from the command
     line.  The archiving process temporarily shuts down the Embedded Support
     Partner to conserve data integrity during the archival process.  Once
     archived, the database is compressed and used only for generating
     reports.  A new database is created with no records in it.  To delete
     archives, use the Embedded Support Partner user interface.

     If esparchive is called without the --database option, it will archive
     the live esp database on the system.  The live esp database will not be
     archived if its size is less then ten megabytes.  Other databases are not
     subject to this restriction.  Empty databases will not be archived under
     any circumstances.
