The main purpose for using Archive Manager is to delete files from your Eagle for Windows system, and store those files on your PC or laptop computer. It is important to note that once you delete the files from your Eagle, they are permanently deleted.
Every time you download a PAD file to your computer, be sure to back up that data to a device or medium other than your PC, such as an external hard drive, DVD, or your network server (if you’re set up that way). This ensures you have a safe and reliable backup in the event your PC fails.
