Enterprise Back-Up and Archive It is important to distinguish between backup and archving. Although often mentioned together, they are infact two very different processes which involve altogether different capabilities and sometimes with competing requirements.
Backup is a process by which an exact copy of a document or other business asset is held in safe keeping in the event that something irreversable should happen to the original source.
