Archiving

Archiving is the process of securely storing data that is no longer actively used but may be needed for future reference or compliance. Archiving helps manage data growth while ensuring access to important historical information.

Archived data is typically moved to lower-cost storage systems and retained for legal, regulatory, or business purposes. Archiving can involve emails, files, databases, or entire systems. Tools such as Microsoft Outlook, Google Vault, and cloud storage platforms offer integrated archiving features tailored for enterprise environments.
