Archival Process

The archival process ensures that historical data is efficiently managed by archiving older records while retaining essential recent data. Multiple archival jobs are available, and their configurations can be adjusted under Global Settings with key named Archival Policies. Users can modify these settings based on their requirements.

Proper exemptions should be configured to retain critical scan data beyond the archival window.
Recurring jobs remain available regardless of their execution history.
