Actually, HylaFAX only keeps the job documents until faxqclean removes=20
them from the docq after the job is complete.=C2=A0 By default that is 1 =
hour.

So, if you're running faxqclean (usually you'll be running it as a cron=20
job) then most likely HylaFAX is purging those documents much sooner=20
than 30 days.

Furthermore, HylaFAX never truly produces a monolithic fax file for sent=20
faxes.=C2=A0 Documents are converted on the filesystem to an appropriate =
fax=20
data format, but they're not concatenated, and the actual data=20
compression can be changed on the fly - and certainly the tagline at the=20
top of each fax page is only ever on the image when it's in memory (not=20
on the filesystem).

The HylaFAX "archive" can archive job documents, but I don't think that=20
this is what you want.

I suspect that your observation of faxes being kept for the last 30 days=20
or so is a feature of your client (Yajhfc) and not of HylaFAX. So, in=20
order to extend this storage you'd need to adjust settings or operations=20
of the client.=C2=A0 (http://www.yajhfc.de/)
