Differentiating Backup and Archive

• What is a Backup?
• A periodic copy of data taken for disaster
  protection purposes
• Requires a restore to be utilized
• Not designed for record discovery

• What is an Archive
• The long-term retention and management of
  historical digital assets that are no longer
  actively needed for current healthcare
  requirements, but have been purposefully retained
  to satisfy regulatory compliance, corporate
  governance, litigation support, records
  management and data management requirements. ESG
