With the Integrated Simple ARchive (ISAR), users of the Cloud Storage service can move data to an online archiving area of storage class standard. The data on ISAR Cloud Storage will be kept online for ten years and additionally secured in the archive and backup system of the LRZ. After the retention period of 10 years the data will be automatically deleted from the file system of the ISAR Cloud Storage. After that the data is available for another 10 years for a restore from the archive and backup system of the LRZ. On request, the data can also remain in the tape archive for longer than 10 years or archiving can be waived
