An administrator can manually archive run data from the local drive on the Ion Torrent™ Server to a connected storage device. When you archive the data, it is moved from the Ion Torrent™ Server to the archive location. The run results listed in the Completed Runs & Results screen link to the data on the archive storage device as long as that device remains mounted on the Ion Torrent™ Server.
