Archive: A collection of historical business records that are immutable and unchangeable, which must be retained for future reference should you ever need to produce evidence (perhaps when legal or regulatory questions arise).

Many organizations define archive data as any copies older than 120 days, whereas some may archive immediately when a matter is closed. Typically, archive data can be located online in to-disk format or offline in to-tape format.
