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.
