Why each option
A key difference between archiving and backing up data is that backups create copies of active data, while archiving typically involves moving inactive data off primary systems.
This describes archiving, where data that is no longer actively used is moved off primary storage, typically to a secondary, less expensive storage for long-term retention.
Data backups are primarily intended to create copies of data that is still actively residing and being used on primary servers or systems, allowing for quick restoration in case of data loss or corruption. The original data remains accessible on the server.
Backups are almost always stored separately and off-site from the primary servers to protect against localized disasters affecting the primary location.
Both backups and archives should be stored securely; this is a common characteristic, not a differentiating one between the two concepts.
