Pros

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

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

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

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

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)

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

Data Format Native Generic Offers multiple options from native proprietary format to industry-standard generic format to restore or import onto any target system

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

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

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

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

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