Archiving Procedure: XML Data Archiving 
Fundamentally the procedure for XML-based archiving is the same as the procedure for ADK-based archiving. In this section we describe only the differences between the two.
For
XML-based archiving, follow the steps described in
Archiving Procedure
using ADK. However, you must keep the following differences in
mind.
· In XML-based archiving we use the term resources instead of data objects or archive files.
· Storing files is not a separate step in XML-based archiving. Resources are written directly to a WebDAV or file system.
· The reloading of resources is not supported.
These fundamental concepts are described in detail under XML-based Archiving.
The procedure for deleting and reading archived data or resources differ slightly more from those used in ADK-based archiving. These differences are described in detail in the following documentation:
