Get-PIArchiveFileInfo -ID 0 -Connection (Connect-PIDataArchive -PIDataArchiveMachineName PISRV1)

Get the PI Archive file information for the primary archive file (ID=0) on the "PISRV1" PI Data Archive server. Because -ArchiveSet parameter is not explicitly set, a value of 0 (Historical) will be used by default.

Get the PI Archive file information for all future archives (ArchiveSet = 1) on the "PISRV1" PI Data Archive server.
