  Key Concepts: 
  Data archiving is a process used to store data that is no longer actively used. It is a part of the Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) component of SAP, which helps organizations manage their data more efficiently. Data archiving helps reduce storage costs and improve system performance by removing inactive data from the system.
  
  How to use it: 
  Data archiving in SAP can be done manually or automatically. Manual archiving involves selecting the data to be archived and then running an archiving program. Automatic archiving can be set up to run on a regular basis, such as daily or weekly. The data to be archived can be selected based on criteria such as age, size, or usage frequency.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an automatic archiving process, it is important to consider the frequency of the process and the criteria used for selecting the data to be archived. It is also important to ensure that all necessary data is archived and that any related documents are also archived.
