Archiving data

Retention policies enforce the periods for which backups are stored on short-term (fast and expensive)
media. Sometimes certain business and technical requirements mandate extended retention of these
backups, but use of fast storage is cost prohibitive. Therefore, this requirement creates a need for long-
term (slow and cheap) storage. Businesses often use long-term storage for archiving both compliance
and noncompliance data. The archive feature in AppAssure is used to support the extended retention for
compliance and noncompliance data. It is also used to seed replication data to a remote replica core.
