Volumes will be archived initially as soon as they are identified and organized. After
the initial push, archiving will occur quarterly. Each quarter, one fourth of the volumes
identified for data management will be archived, and the archives will be sent out for
copying and offsite storage. Thus, each volume will be archived once a year while it is
online. The existing backup retention policy is one year, so worst-case recovery would
be a series of restorals from archive and backups. Archive retention policy will be "until
superseded." Archived savesets will be refreshed by restoring to online media, perform-
ing some sanity checks, and re-archiving to new media every two years. Hardware and
software procurement and disposal cycles will be constrained to not "strand" archives on
unmountable media or in unreadable formats.
