Managing data archiving efficiently is critical for ensuring compliance and retrieving essential information when needed. While Re-Archiving addresses gaps in data archiving through a manual process, certain challenges have highlighted the need for a more automated approach.
Despite its utility, the manual re-archiving process posed certain challenges:
There is often a time gap between a user’s registration in the system and their actual installation of the Android Capture application. This delay can lead to missed archiving of critical data for the period before installation.
Users attempting to bypass the archiving process could uninstall the Android Capture application and reinstall it later, resulting in potential data loss during the period of uninstallation.
Automatic Re-Archiving was introduced to address the challenges of manual re-archiving. Automatic Re-Archiving activates under specific conditions, ensuring data gaps are automatically filled without requiring admin intervention or support requests.
Benefits
Automatic Re-Archiving has the following benefits:
Filling critical data gaps: Automatically handles scenarios of missed data.
Improving reliability: Minimizes the risk of incomplete archiving.
Enhancing efficiency: Reduces reliance on manual efforts, saving time for admins and support teams.
Conditions for Automatic Re-Archiving
Automatic re-archiving is triggered under the following scenarios:
New Installations: When the Android Capture application is installed for the first time, re-archiving automatically covers the following range:
Start Date and Time: Registration date and time.
End Date and Time: Initial installation date and time.
Reinstallations: When the Android Capture application is reinstalled, re-archiving automatically covers the following range:
Start Date and Time: Last archived date and time.
End Date and Time: New installation date and time.
Enabling Automatic Re-Archiving
The Compliance Officer or Admin must request the Automatic Re-Archive feature during the initial onboarding form submission.
The Onboarding/Provisioning team will configure a rule that enables automatic re-archiving for the company.
Delivery Timeline
Similar to the re-archiving process, traffic information will typically be delivered to the archiving destination within 24 hours, based on archiving settings.
