Archival Storage
Archival storage moves data into long-term archives with lower data storage rates. It is intended for data that must be retained and do not require immediate access.
Data transfer to and from archival storage incurs additional fees per Terabyte transferred in the move. Restoring data that have been archived for a short period of time can result in higher storage costs.
Storage Product | Cost | Details |
Standard Storage | 22.5 iCredits per TB per month | Default, instant free access |
Archive Storage | 2.0 Credits per TB per month | Around 2 days to restore, costs below |
Transfer to Archive | 20.0 iCredit per TB per transfer | Cost to move 1 TB from Standard to Archive |
Restore from Archive | 30.0 iCredit per TB per restore | Cost to move 1 TB from Archive back to Standard |
Archived data will still be reflected in overall run and project file size. To see a breakdown of storage, view your usage report (see Generate Usage Reports)
