The purpose of a cloud archiving service is to provide an off-site dedicated and secure storage environment where your precious data won’t be lost or damaged if disaster strikes your production environment. The archive enables clients to quickly and fully restore archived data. It is optimized for long-term data retention, security, and compliance with data regulation policies.

The advantages of cloud archiving are clear when you look at the costs of implementing and maintaining physical on-site archiving, especially for organizations with large data retention obligations requirements. Ownership of private archive infrastructure can be costly and management-intensive. By contrast, cloud archiving is easy to install, very light and requires no maintenance.
