Automated data archiving is the process of transferring data permanently from an online storage system to an offline storage system. Automated data archiving aims to lower storage costs, enhance data management, and guarantee data accessibility for future use. Using specialised software and hardware to automatically identify and transfer data that is no longer in use is the norm for automated data archiving. Data that is older than a certain date, data that hasn't been accessed for a certain period of time, or data that has grown to a certain size can all fall under this category.
