Storage
To archive a Web site, its content is transferred to persistent storage (RDBMS), specifically a SQL database (Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle). The storage or records is optimized by only archiving content that is unique.
The following scenarios describe how the Archive Manager stores records:
| Publish event | Archive Manager response |
|---|---|
| Initial publication | Archive Manager stores the page as a record in the database along with each artifact it links to (such as JSPs, ASPs, HTML files, images and other binary file types) |
| Republication (content unchanged) | If neither the contents of the page nor its artifacts have changed, Archive Manager creates a new version of the record to indicate that the resource has been republished, but the content itself is not rearchived. |
| Republication (content changed) | Archive Manager creates a new version of the record and a new entry for its content. |
