Secure Configuration Manager automatically moves updates you have applied or approved to the AutoSync Archive. You can also move declined updates to the Archive. You can decline to apply any of the security checks, policy templates, or patch level database files available in AutoSync. For example, you may not need updates for an operating system not supported by your environment.
You can move updated items to the Archive without applying them. For example, if your environment does not include UNIX systems, you do not need to apply policy templates for those systems.
On the Tools menu, click AutoSync Wizard.
Select the check box next to the files you want to archive.
Click Move to Archive.
Secure Configuration Manager allows you to apply the same update more than once. For example, you may need to restore and re-apply updates after disaster recovery. To ensure continuity, the Archive maintains a history of each update’s application. For more information, see Section 8.8.3, Viewing the History of an Archived Update.
On the Tools menu, click AutoSync Wizard.
Click the Archived Updates tab.
Select the check box next to the files you want to restore.
Click Restore Updates.
Click the Available Updates tab, and then follow the instructions for applying updates. For more information, see Section 8.6, Applying AutoSync Updates.
Because you can apply an update multiple times, AutoSync lists the dates and times an update has been applied. Archive history details apply only to updates added to AutoSync since upgrading or installing Secure Configuration Manager version 5.8.
On the Tools menu, click AutoSync Wizard.
Click the Archived Updates tab.
Select the check box next to the file you want to view.
Click Show Details.
Click the History tab.
