Why each option
To reclaim space from a high-performance server while retaining important, rarely used data for future access, the administrator should archive the data.
Auditing the data involves reviewing its usage and access patterns but does not directly reclaim storage space.
Deleting the data would reclaim space, but this is unsuitable as the data is described as 'important and might be used in the future'.
Backing up the data creates a copy, but it does not remove the original data from the high-performance server, therefore it does not reclaim the space.
Archiving data involves moving it from high-performance primary storage to a less expensive, lower-performance tier, thereby reclaiming space on the high-performance server while preserving the data's importance and accessibility for future use.
