An archive is a document that stores all of the information captured about files, folders, and volumes.
Items in an archive are organized by owner (that's you), volumes, folders, and files, exactly the way your computer and file system does.
Layers define an additional dimension in an archive, recording the changes to those items over time.
To work with an archive, open it in a browser window.
Open an archive like you would any document:
If you plan to use an archive to keep backups of important documents, it's recommended that you place the archive on a storage device that is physically independent of the one where the documents are stored, such as an external drive or a network volume.
Once opened, you can browse the archive's content, capture (add) new items, recall (extract) previously captured items, and other tasks.
