7. Press the Next > button.
8. Under Please specify where archived data will be placed enter a path location where you wish to store your archived data. This will typically be another location on your computer, however it is recommended that you store this data outside your main ..\CAPITAL folder so that it is not included in your regular back-up schedule.

9. If you will be performing this operation during working hours with other users in the system leave Compact the database after each archive unticked. You can then run a Database Maintenance operation later and compact your database at a more suitable time. Otherwise, if you will be performing this operation outside normal working hours, tick this setting now. This will compact your database after the operation is completed, however users will not be able to access sales orders while compacting is in progress.
10. Finally press the Finished button and then press Start Now to begin.
