# pegasus-archive(1)

Compresses a workflow submit directory in a way that allows pegasus-dashboard, pegasus-statistics, pegasus-plots, and pegasus-analyzer to keep working.

## NAME

pegasus-archive - Compresses a workflow submit directory in a way that allows pegasus-dashboard, pegasus-statistics, pegasus-plots, and pegasus-analyzer to keep working.

## SYNOPSIS

```
pegasus-archive [-h][-v][-x] submit_dir
```

## DESCRIPTION

**pegasus-archive** significantly reduces the size of workflow submit directories by compressing the data in a way such that it remains accessible to tools such as pegasus-statistics, pegasus-plots, and pegasus-analyzer. It creates a .tar.gz archive of the submit files and logs that excludes files such as the stampede database, braindump file, and monitord logs, which are used by pegasus reporting tools.

## OPTIONS

- **-h**, **--help**

  Prints a usage summary with all the available command-line options.

- **-v**, **--verbose**

  Print detailed messages about the archiving process.

- **-x**, **--extract**

  Un-archive a previously archived submit directory. This option returns the submit directory to the state it was before **pegasus-archive** was applied to it.
