Click OK.Archiving dataRetention 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 thesebackups, 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 complianceand noncompliance data. The archive feature in AppAssure is used to support the extended retention forcompliance and noncompliance data.
