Understanding archives
Retention 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 these backups, 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 compliance and non-compliance data. The archive
feature in Rapid Recovery is used to support the extended retention for compliance and non-compliance data;
and it is also used to seed replication data to a remote replica core.
