# Archive Index Actions

You can configure HPE IDOL Server to store a record of all index actions that it runs. You can use the archive of index actions to replay index actions, for example after you restore to a backup.

To configure HPE IDOL Server to archive index actions

1. Open the HPE IDOL Server configuration file in a text editor.

2. In the `[Paths]` section, set the `ArchivePath` parameter to the path where you want to store the archive. For example:

       [Paths]
       ArchivePath=./archive

3. Save and close the configuration file. Restart HPE IDOL Server for your changes to take effect.

When you have configured `ArchivePath`, HPE IDOL Server saves all index actions to the specified path. It also archives any state tokens that have been referenced in the `DREREPLACE`, `DRECHANGEMETA`, `DREDELETEDOC`, `DREEXPORTIDX`, `DREEXPORTXML`, and `DREEXPORTREMOTE` index actions.

During a `DREINITIAL` index action, HPE IDOL Server stores the contents of the archive directory in a subdirectory, so that you can replay actions after you restore from a backup. If you restore to a time, HPE IDOL Server automatically replays archived index actions between the last backup file and the restore time.

Tip: When you configure an `ArchivePath`, you can optionally stop HPE IDOL Server from indexing a particular index action by using the `NoArchive` index action parameter for any index action.

However, if you use the `NoArchive` parameter for an index action that changes the state of the index, and then use `DREINITIAL` and `RestoreTime` to restore the index, the restore process does not include these changes, and the final index state might be different.
