- A potential issue with archiving is to understand what should be archived. This because it can take time to identify what information needs to be retained and what can be destroyed when no longer required.
- Archiving is a complex issue as it is also important to be aware of the value of information to various departments within an organisation.
- Not understanding that data archiving requires a process and set of procedures that need to be adhered to.
- Not actively working with all departments in order to fully understand what their requirements are.
- Not implementing a data retention policy.
- Focussing too much on the technical aspect. Archiving systems should be seen as part of a business strategy and the processes put in place should be part of this. The key is to implement a robust data retention strategy in line with all departments’ needs.
