Data Archiving Policy Basics

Store old data cheaply and safely

A data archiving policy identifies data to move off hot systems, sets formats/locations, retention, access controls, encryption, and retrieval SLAs so storage costs drop without losing needed history.

Select Data

Choose low-touch history; define formats and metadata.

Protect

Encrypt, control access, and log retrievals.

Retrieve

Set SLAs and processes to restore archived data when needed.
