Data archives are copies of active or inactive data from online storage copied to offline storage. Archives are used to keep point-in-time copies of important data for regulatory or bookkeeping requirements and to move inactive data from expensive online storage to less expensive offline storage.
Managed data archives implemented by IBM Tivoli Storage Manager are managed for a defined lifetime through the policy-automation engine, just like backed-up data. The Storage Manager client can help quickly and easily retrieve the archived data, helping to effectively extend your data storage capabilities without the need for more expensive online storage.
IBM System Storage Archive Manager helps facilitate compliance with the most stringent regulatory compliance requirements.
