# Archive log data

You can set up an Archive Log Task to copy log data from the active storage on the Log or Management Server to some other location.

##

The same task can also delete the log data from the active storage. You do not have to set up a separate task for freeing up the space.

By default, the log archive location is on the same disk drive as the active storage.

Note: The Archive Log Task copies the existing log files without compression. Copying the files without compression enables you to view the archived logs in the Logs view but they are not used in the Reports view when reports are generated.
