What is file archiving?
File archiving software manages file versions as they change. It involves storing backup copies elsewhere for recovery. Archives can be stored in:
- Server storage
- Cloud blob storage
File archiving can run on a scheduled clock basis or continuously. A continuous file archiving solution can be powerful. It complements existing backup solutions like tape.
Processing continually closes gaps in the backup window. That's when a file version may not make it to tape or an image. Document archiving can also be a standalone, versioned backup for your user files.
