Data archiving involves transferring valuable but inactive data to a cost-effective storage solution. This process helps businesses lower storage expenses while keeping older data safe for future reference, analysis, or to meet regulatory requirements. The main focus of data archiving is long-term data preservation. Depending on your needs and provider, archival features can vary, offering options such as data compression, deduplication, and encryption. At the very least, it’s important that your solution offers indexing and search capabilities to ensure easy access to your archived files.
