ADVANTAGES

One advantage of archive tiering is that it can save you money by allowing you to use cheaper media for data that doesn't need to be accessed often. Another advantage is that it can improve performance by keeping frequently accessed data on faster media.

First, make sure you have a good understanding of your data access patterns. This will help you determine which media is best suited for each type of data.

Second, remember that archive tiering is just one part of a comprehensive backup strategy. Be sure to also consider other factors such as off-site storage and disaster recovery planning.
