SetupArchiveTape

The SetupArchiveTape keyword identifies the device to which setup information for an archived project is saved. A project's setups are saved as a .tar format archive, creating a single file that can be extracted, preserving the original directory structure.

The SetupArchiveTape keyword uses the following syntax

SetupArchiveTape <device_type>

where <device_type> is the path to the device where you want to save the setup archive. You can set the path to point to a tape device or use a file destination as a virtual device. If you set a file destination, you must add a filename ending with the .tar extension that you want to use for the setup archive.

Example of use

SetupArchiveTape /var/tmp/setups.tar
