archive - SQL Server Archiving Strategy (not Backup) -


our contracts our clients state manage , store data within last 3 months. because have such high volume application, archive production tables moving old data "archive" database. have stored procedure gathers older data, dumps tables in "archive" database , removes rows production database. pretty simple, straightforward process.

we want keep archive database @ manageable size , "shelve" data onto offsite media. best way accomplish still allow load offline data in order retrieve old data customer @ request?

there no such thing best way ;).

your requirements way broad , need narrow these down. try come detailed specs , you’ll able come solution once have data.

here things i’d analyze first:

  • monthly amount of data needs moved offsite
  • how amount change in future (safe bet assume numbers grow)
  • budget
  • how long should keep archives before deleting them
  • turnaround time restoring archived data

depending on these factors “best” solution can vary usb stick buy $9 several storage servers can cost $100k ;)
