German term or phrase: Umlaufarchiv
Context:
Alle Meldungen und Alarme werden in ein Langzeitarchiv geschrieben. Diese Langzeitarchive arbeiten als Umlaufarchiv.

My Siemens dictionary lists "Umlaufarchiv" as "short-term archive", which would make the second sentence:

These long-term archives operate as a short-term archive.

So, either the dictionary is wrong, or the author got something wrong, I'm very confused...
