How to take an archive back up from Mark V historian? Our Historian is connected with 8 Gas Turbines and running with out of memory in archive D folder. Can any one knows the step to take Archive back up?
Rajesh,
I looked into this many years ago--and it was never clear how OSIsoft PI could get archived data from some kind of back-up media, either optical (CD; DVD) or tape.
At that time, my personal recommendation was to get another hard drive and use it in the Historian as the archive media. But, even the PI documentation wasn't clear on how to do the archive in such a way as to be able to access the data at a later date.
Your best answer would likely come from OSIsoft (the publishers of the PI software).
If you learn how to accomplish this, please write back to let us know!

The D folder is actually a second hard drive. Using Acronis back up software, you can image the drive and place the image on a larger drive to expand the space.
your current hard drive is probably very small and 160GB IDE drives are available for about 10 bucks.

Rajesh,
CuriousOne has an EXCELLENT suggestion!!!
We're presuming the HMI has an older motherboard using an IDE hard drive connection, and that it has a CD/DVD burner. You could then use Acronis software (inexpensive if not already on the HMI--and newer versions are even more powerful and have more features, so seriously consider upgrading if you already have Acronis before you start) to create a full back-up image of the hard drive to CD/DVD and then swap hard drives, and use the CD/DVD to install the image to the new, larger hard drive--OS and all. That way, as far as the CPU and PI were concerned, the only difference would be the larger hard drive with more storage space.
REALLY good idea, this!
Someone knowledgeable in older PC hardware could also probably come up with some other suggestions for using the secondary IDE connection in many older CPU boxes to make this even easier--still using Acronis, though. It really is the easiest and fastest way to back-up for this kind of swap (from a smaller hard drive to a larger hard drive), and for general back-up/recovery in case of hard drive failure.

CSA this is actually easier

Take the IDE out of the HMI. back it up to you desktop/laptop and then put the image on the larger drive.
