Full Reset Archive State for Job: Resets the archive directory by deleting all data in the archive directory.  Then copies all the current data from the target or right directory to the Archive Target directory to make sure you have copies of all current files in the archive directory.  This can be used to free up space when the archive directory becomes large or to clean up the directory if it becomes too cluttered with old files.

Partial Reset Archive State for Job: Asks for a date and time then deletes all files older than that date and time from the job archive directory.  Then copies all the current data from the target or right directory to the Archive Target directory to make sure you have copies of all current files in the archive directory.  This can be used to free up space when the archive directory becomes large or to clean up the directory if it becomes too cluttered with old files.
