Compact options for archiving

I’m going to run my first server side archive this weekend.

My previous compact command was “compact -B”

I now have it set to “compact -a -B”

Do I need the -B option?

Thanks!

Subject: Depends on the Archiving switch used…

From the Lotus Administrator Help Database topic “Compact Options”:

Option*

Command-line equivalent

Description

Archive only

-A

Archives and deletes documents from a database without compacting the database.

Archive and then compact

-a

Archives and deletes documents from a database and then compacts the database.

Delete and then archive

-j

Deletes documents from a database and then compacts the database.

*The Compact tool in the Files tab of the Domino Administrator provides only the option “Archive database;” this option archives and then compacts.
