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 ;)
