A backup is a copy of the full or partial contents of your computer to another storage medium (such as another hard drive or tape). Backups are currently kept for 90 days. An archive is an item that has been backed up and placed in off-line storage for access at a later date. The RCG does not currently archive data for long term storage. If you require archiving services, please contact us.
