An all-AMPs archive on one or more partitions of a table can be performed rather than performing a full-table backup and restore. This feature is limited to all-AMP archives. Dictionary, cluster, and journal archives are not supported.
Use selected partitions to archive only a subset of data and avoid archiving data that has already been backed up. (Minimizing the size of the archive can improve performance.)
Before using this feature, be sure to understand All AMPs Online.
For procedures and script examples of selecting partitions, see Archiving Selected Partitions of PPI Tables.
