Incoming faxes to store in a DMS

Q:
My question is about the incoming faxes. Is there a way (or event)  that I can use to store incoming faxes automatically  in a directory based on incoming parameters ? I saw that forwarding to a  printer could be possible. Could it also be forwarding to a file  (without user interaction) and then collect fax properties from the  database (though API or ODBC ?)

A:
It would be possible to automatically export received files. This can be configured with the menu Extras / Options / Archive. The fax parameters can also be automatically exported to a database table through ODBC (see menu Communication / ODBC Database on the fax server).

Storage/file type

Q:
Where are the faxes stored on the computer? I want to make sure the images are backed up every day. I did not see any .bmp files, so I assume that it is a different file type … ?

A:
Yes, the fax image files are stored in an internal format (not .bmp) at Program Files\ActiveFax\Server\Faxlist. Regarding backups, I would recommend to make a complete backup of the Program Files\ActiveFax directory on the fax server ( see http://www.activefax-distribution.com/afewbb/thread.php?threadid=3&sid= )
