Description: Z-Archiving is the process of moving data to a storage system for long-term retention. This approach focuses on preserving information that, while not actively used, must be kept for legal, regulatory, or historical reasons. Z-Archiving allows organizations to efficiently manage large volumes of data, optimizing storage resource usage and ensuring that critical information is available when needed. Often, this process involves transferring data to more cost-effective and lower-access storage media, such as magnetic tapes or cloud storage, where costs are lower compared to online storage. Additionally, Z-Archiving includes the implementation of retention policies that determine how long data should be kept and under what conditions it can be deleted. This approach not only helps comply with data protection regulations but also facilitates information retrieval in case of audits or investigations. In a world where the amount of data generated is increasing, Z-Archiving has become an essential strategy for long-term data management, ensuring that organizations can maintain their integrity and meet their legal obligations.
