What is data archiving?
Data archiving moves information that is no longer in active use into long-term, lower-cost, policy-governed storage where it remains secure and retrievable. Unlike a backup, an archive is the system of record retained to satisfy compliance, governance, and eDiscovery obligations — indexed, immutable, and searchable for as long as your retention rules require.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between data archiving and backup?
A backup is a short-term copy used to restore systems after a failure. A data archive is the long-term, immutable system of record kept for compliance and discovery. They solve different problems — recovery vs. provable retention and production.
What kinds of data can Grotabyte archive?
Email, chat and collaboration (Teams, Slack, SharePoint), voice and video, social media, SMS/mobile, financial messaging, and file shares — more than 60 sources in total.
How does archiving reduce storage cost?
Moving inactive data to policy-governed archive storage, plus single-instance storage and defensible deletion of redundant/obsolete/trivial data, shrinks the active footprint while keeping records retrievable.
