ABSTRACT
Data archiving is the process of transferring e-recs that are no longer actively used to a separate records storage device for long-term retention, often disabling it from any further changes.
This transfer can be locally to either near-line (e.g., to removable media in an automated device, such as CD-Rs in a jukebox), off-line (e.g., to a local or remote storage area) or to another record repository. A tracking feature is needed to record the change of location for both ease of access and to meet regulatory requirements (e.g., control of changes).
