Which of the following describes how the process of archiving differs from backup and recovery?

Both archiving and backup processes can utilize various media, including disk and tape; the choice of media does not fundamentally define the difference between them.

While an archive may be stored redundantly, adding redundancy is a characteristic more directly associated with backup and fault tolerance, not the primary distinguishing factor of archiving itself.

Archiving typically involves moving infrequently accessed data from expensive, high-performance primary storage to a more cost-effective, secondary storage medium for long-term retention. This process frees up space on primary systems and reduces operational costs while backups generally create copies to restore data to its original or an equivalent primary location.

Archiving absolutely has an equivalent recovery or retrieval process to restore or access the archived data when needed, although access times may be slower than primary storage.
