• changed hard-coded values to Global definitions, making it easier to configure for an environment.

• introduced a cleanup for keeping a maximum of x days of the archives

• split POA and DOM backup files to separate archives.

• changed date format of archive - date-month-Year instead of Month-date-year.

• introduced checks to see if paths defined in definitions are available to write into.

• off-site copy is removed for now, local copies/archives will be backed up with normal backup products from the host as FTP is not secure.
