Pros

Feature Ratings Average rating of all product features, some of which may not be shown below

External Storage Connectivity Data archiving usually stores data on external, removable media that is optimized for long-term storage, at an offsite location.

Restore to Current Format Ability to restore to whichever “current” format the organization has in place at the time of archive data restoration

Data Deletion Control and Space Gain The ability to reclaim valuable hard drive space freed due to the data archiving process based on the software’s successful confirmation & verification

Data Compression Allows for more data to be stored on media. Data compression can potentially slow down access times to the data

Storage Optimization 'Storage optimization, unlike std. backup & restore, is for long term data storage, organizing it to find & restore information easily

Granularity 'The granular storage of data, such that it can be searched and recovered in an expedient manner.

Long Term Data Retention The software should have fault tolerant abilities in order to recover from minor data corruptions. Depends largely on the media (such as tapes)

Data Encryption Protects your data from those who have physical access to storage media (including secure storage provider), and ensures data has only authorized access

Platform Support Does the data archive system provide the hardware platform support that the organization needs.

Multiple Format Support Ability to support multiple media formats, including tape, WORM drives, optical media, etc. Also, proliferation of cloud and support cloud storage.

Ediscovery Audit Trail The extent to which files and file histories are tracked & ability to manage files en masse for the purposes of legal proceedings
