Unlike backup, which copies data for recovery purposes, IT archiving relocates data to reduce system overhead while maintaining compliance with legal and regulatory retention requirements.

A \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fdata-backup\u002F\">data backup\u003C\u002Fa> is where some information or records are duplicated or copied. A data backup doesn’t necessarily have to be moved to a new storage location. However, archived data is moved to a separate location. This ensures a company isn’t overwhelmed by data that doesn’t need to be at the forefront of daily transactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here’s an example to illuminate the unique differences between backing up data or archiving it. If an art museum had ten paintings but could only fit eight on their walls, they could archive the unwanted paintings and save them for another time. This is similar to data archiving. Now imagine that same museum took those ten paintings and ordered replicas of each, hoping to preserve the look of the picture. This is similar to backing up data. Archiving moves the pictures elsewhere, while backups replicate the pictures.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-26738\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F06\u002F19194951\u002Fdata-archiving-3.jpg\" alt=\"A blurred picture of a museum.\" class=\"wp-image-26738\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F06\u002F19194951\u002Fdata-archiving-3.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F06\u002F19194951\u002Fdata-archiving-3-450x300.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F06\u002F19194951\u002Fdata-archiving-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Data archiving is similar to how a museum stores paintings.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--what-kind-of-data-is-typically-archived\">What kind of data is typically archived?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some companies will need to have data like financial records archived for a long time. Others may need to archive emails, phone logs and other data types. These different case-uses show the wide range between importance of data archiving (financial records are likely much more valuable). Remember that the type of data stored is meant to be unused for a long time. Important financial records are archived only if they don’t need to be referenced periodically.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Legal compliance data is a common form of information in an enterprise’s data archive. Like financial records, this type of data deserves long term archive consideration, typically indefinite. The reason we archive legal data is due to the severity of losing or accidentally editing the piece. Therefore, it’s vital you store valuable data safely away to create clarity in daily workflows. Keep in mind that companies rarely reference a lot of different legal information.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-26740\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F06\u002F19194950\u002Fdata-archiving-4.jpg\" alt=\"A picture of two users accessing financial records on a computer.\" class=\"wp-image-26740\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F06\u002F19194950\u002Fdata-archiving-4.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F06\u002F19194950\u002Fdata-archiving-4-450x300.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F06\u002F19194950\u002Fdata-archiving-4-768x512.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Store things like financial records and legal information in alternative locations.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4--other-considerations\">Other considerations\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following are some concerns to consider when it comes to data archiving:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage space\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s important to note that archiving frees up space and takes it away at the same time. On the main server, drive space is freed up. However, wherever the archiving takes place fills up quickly. One thing that needs periodical evaluation is the storage space and limits of the servers used. The inevitable outcome of archiving data is exponential data growth over time. Make sure your systems are keeping pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compatibility\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The longer you archive data, the higher the chance you’ll have compatibility issues.

Similar to storage space, implement scheduled checks and data reviews to solve compatibility issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data archiving secures important information in an organized manner.
