# Archiving Setup
### Archiving Setup
Enable this option to perform archiving on floppy disks.
**Number of disk to Archive**
This field will display the number of disks to archive for your checks.
**Number of Invoice per Disk**
Enter the number of invoices that your device can hold. For a 3.5" floppy disk, this number should be 8000.
If you enable this option, the Back-Office determines how many guest checks file a blank diskette stores when you insert the diskette. Otherwise, the Back-Office does not check the blank diskette.
**Archive Destination**
Type in the diskette drive name to which you want the Back-Office to send guest checks files for backup, such as A.
**Automatic Format**
If you enable this option, the Back-Office offers an option to formats the diskette each time you save the guest check files or each time you use a backup option. The Back-Office erases any data on the diskette when formatting occurs.
Otherwise, the Back-Office does not automatically format the diskettes
Enable this option to use other supports to perform archiving, such as removable hard drives or thumb drives
{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: The purpose of backups and archives is to have a fallback in case of a major system failure. Therefore, backups and archives should always be saved to a removable drive, or manually copied to a cloud storage service.
{% endhint %}
**Path**

This is the path the system will use to archiving. To change it, use the \[...] button.

NOTE: Network paths or URLs are not supported. To transfer files to a network location or a cloud storage service, first take the backup on a local drive then manually copy the files elsewhere.
