Extremely detail limited query.<br />
What is your existing backup/data retention plan.<br />
How much data is involved?<br />
lets try it this way the one year retention means that is how far back your index should allow you to go to locate a version of a file.<br />
I.e. A person comes to you saying FileA is missing and the last time that file was accessed is a year ago?<br />
<br />
<br />
Presumably you are using disk to disk to tape backup and would like the option to pull tapes ..<br />
How much variability are you willing to tolerate, how large of a tape library do you have/can maintain...<br />
<br />
Your backup plan combination will achieve what you need.<br />
Amount of total data, amount of daily/hourly changes depending on the amount of data you can tolerate losing versus how long you are willing to ve down in the event of a catastrophic situation where everything has to be restored.

Hi ,

I want to know how to set up a archive process which will keeps the data for 1 year in tsm.

Need 1year retention for logs - Archive

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

RAID is data storage technology that allows multiple drives to be used together as a single virtual drive for reasons such as fault tolerance, reliability and performance. 

There are several different levels of RAID that determine how the data is stored and the level of redundancy achieved across the drives.
