Ready to experience our backup software with versioning and archiving on your own?
For businesses that fall under regulations like HIPAA in the United States or similar regulations in other countries, data archiving may be a compliance requirement. But even if your company isn’t regulated, backup archiving is still a smart business practice. If you receive a request to recreate data from an earlier point in time, archiving may be just the solution you need.
With SolarWinds® Backup, you automatically get 28 days of short-term retention, but for long-term storage, you’ll want to set up backup archiving. Archived data is stored in the SolarWinds cloud indefinitely, until and unless you delete it. It’s a great way to be ready for the unexpected, including situations where older data may be required.
With some backup products, long-term data archiving can get expensive. Because SolarWinds Backup bills you based on the amount of data being archives (selected size), your costs should not increase as archived data grows. Over time, as your archives and restore points grow, this becomes an increasingly valuable benefit. The more you archive, the lower your effective storage price per TB becomes.
From full-system restores from archive, to recovery of critical applications like Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, or file- and folder-level recovery, SolarWinds cloud backup archiving complements backup for servers, applications, workstations, and Microsoft 365 data, to let you focus on the business.
