SolarWinds – Data Archiving
Store Your Data for as Long as You Need and Set Variable Retention Policies
For businesses that fall under compliance regulations like HIPAA in the United States or similar regulations in other countries, data archiving is required for compliance. But even if your company isn’t regulated, strong data archiving is still a best practice. A good archive means you can retrieve critical data months or years later even if you thought it was insignificant at the time. SolarWinds® Backup’s cloud-based storage is set up with a mechanism to clean data after a default retention period. However, you can easily enable archiving of any backup data with a click of a button to help ensure that it stays for you as long as you need.
