BIT660 - Data Archiving Training

BIT660 – Data Archiving training by Multisoft Virtual Academy is designed to help professionals build a practical, end-to-end understanding of how enterprises store, retain, protect, and retrieve data over long periods. The program covers the complete data lifecycle - from identifying archival candidates and defining retention schedules to implementing policies for compliance, audit readiness, and legal holds. Learners explore how archiving reduces primary database load, improves application performance, and controls storage growth while still keeping business-critical information accessible. You will learn core concepts such as archiving strategy and planning, governance frameworks, data classification, metadata and indexing approaches, secure storage models, encryption considerations, and access controls. The training also introduces best practices for backup vs archiving, designing retrieval workflows, monitoring archival jobs, and validating archived data integrity. Real-world scenarios help you understand common challenges like meeting regulatory requirements, managing sensitive data, ensuring traceability, and handling restoration requests efficiently.

By the end of BIT660, you will be able to support or lead data archiving initiatives that balance performance, cost, compliance, and usability - enabling organizations to manage growing data volumes with confidence.
