Archiving is a process commonly employed to enhance data organization, optimize storage resources, and mitigate risks associated with data loss or corruption. This practice is particularly valuable for organizations or individuals dealing with large amounts of data that needs to be stored for regulatory or legal purposes, historical reference, scholarly research, or other future needs.
Archived data is typically arranged in a structured manner, often featuring indexes or metadata for easy identification and retrieval. Archive files may be compressed or encrypted to reduce storage space requirements or enhance security. Access to archived material is often restricted or subject to specific permissions to ensure its integrity or to comply with privacy policies or legal obligations.
