Data archiving considerations
The following are a few best practices that you can follow while archiving data:
*Archiving is an resource intensive operation and you must perform in non-peak hours.
*Ensure that there is sufficient storage in the location chosen for archive.
*You can use REST APIs to schedule the archive operation.
*Periodic housekeeping and clean up of archive data is important. Archive files that are not required beyond the maximum required retention period must be cleaned up from the folder where the archives are stored.
