Off site backups are considered a best practice and provide the ability to quickly recover from a disaster, even when the entire site is lost.  Corporate and regulatory requirements may require the *archiving* of data at certain intervals. For example, monthly or annually. In addition to your regular backups, Server Backup allows you to create archives of recovery point snapshots via AWS Glacier, AWS S3, IBM Cloud Object Storage, Wasabi Cloud Storage, or FTP(S) with a separate retention policy.

Each Policy may have the Archive enabled and configured in accordance with your retention requirements. According to these options, an *Archive* is created once the policy runs. Archiving can be configured to snapshot on daily, weekly, or monthly schedule.   You can also choose any recovery point from the Recovery Points screen and send it to archive.

An Archive Point is a snapshot of a recovery point which is stored in another location for long-term data storage to provide further integrity and safe-keeping of data. The archive point can be copied to the local SBM and the copied recovery point supports all normal recovery point functionality. You can [browse|Browse archive points] and restore your files as well as perform a bare metal restore from an Archive.
