Pilla,

Unfortunately, 6.0.2 does not have the capability. This was one of the new 6.1 features. Check Table 3 on page 7 in this manual. The Archive Database is what you need for programmatic archive. In 6.1 there is also a new utility called Historical Data Viewer, that allows you to do it manually.

I remember seeing some online document about archiving Citadel database. ... oh, ya, here it is (I searched ni.com for "archiving citadel" and it was the first hit):
