Data Archiving is one of WellData’s many database services.
Our database developers support the IT sector with end of data lifecycle management.
Firstly, the project manager plans how to move data which is no longer actively used. As a result, an organised data archive forms from the ageing data.
Meanwhile, reducing pressure on your live environment and consumption of primary storage space. And, this maximises performance.
But, the secondary data sets remain fully accessible. Data archiving also meets regulations such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Especially if, undoubtedly, ageing data must be kept for long retention periods.

Throughout 130 years, milkrite | InterPuls have supported farms with exceptional research and development of innovative systems.
In early 2022, they reached out for the support and expertise of WellData, requesting an appropriate data archiving solution for their manufacturing system.
Milkrite | InterPuls required a data archiving solution to complement their new manufacturing system, which stored data using a SQLite database.
Data archiving involves archiving data securely, and is a critical business activity for organisations that need to retain historical data, but want to refine their storage resources.
In this complete guide, we highlight why having a data archiving strategy and creating a robust process for your organisation to follow is so important.
The complete data archiving guide explores what data archiving can mean for businesses who handle big data, how to implement a winning strategy and maintain data governance.
In this article, we discuss the benefits of carrying out the process and identify risks which you should be aware of before establishing your data archiving solutions.
WellData’s database architects have combined their knowledge and experience to produce their full guide to data archiving strategy.
The full guide focuses on the importance of a strong data archiving strategy which is suited to your business operations.
Creating a data archiving policy is going to solidify your strategy to create a long-lasting process for business operations.
Data archiving is moving ageing data where the data is no longer actively used.
Besides, you can continue to retrieve data from secondary storage mediums.
The process is done to copy data out of a live database.
It is then moved into a separate data archive.
What’s more, the archive can be put on the same server, or separately from the original source.
By all means, use your preferred solution to store data.
Yet, these are usually on-premise solutions, flash storage or cloud storage.
A data archiving plan means moving infrequently accessed data to a library.
And, the archive typically features search functionality and indexes. Certainly, you may delete archival data. You can also store the data if you have long term retention policies.
Now, your retention policy is understood and the system is set up.
It will delete data at a specified period of time, if required. Or, as it meets your rules.
Moreover, moving data is a best practice of data lifecycle management.
At the same time, it is beneficial to compliance.
Evidently, the archival process reduces primary data storage consumption and associated storage costs. Plus, data archiving solutions provide many other benefits.
Storage administrators can save space in primary systems.
To do so, you move data to a low cost archive storage.
This creates free space in the primary storage.
You should treat data archives with data governance.
Keep data integrity and meet compliance.
It is important to know that data archives are not exempt from General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
Hence, you may wish to seek advice from a database consultant.
Data archiving removes data.
Where as, data retrieval reverses the exercise. E.g. accidentally data archiving important information. E.g. you need historical data for reporting.
To do so, set up an application. Or, such software that can access database including reports.
This will reference the data archive. Meanwhile, a web-based interface can restore the data from cloud storage.
