The benefits of archiving data

You use Archive Manager to archive historic data from your live projects into archive files. Archiving historic data provides you with the following benefits:

  • Once archived, historic data is located in a more secure, infrequently-accessed location, so there is less chance of it being edited or deleted accidentally.
  • Unwanted and/or outdated data is removed from your live projects.
  • The size of your live projects and data sources is kept to a manageable level, resulting in speedier performance.
