Storage of a copy of data in an appropriate way for record, certification and legal purposes. The data will be preserved and kept available for a use within the archive and possibly for further re-use. With certified conversion processes, the native data representation generated by the source system can be converted into a representation which is appropriate for long term archiving. To fulfill legal and certification requirements, the stored form can be an accurate or approximate representation of the source. Integrity must be ensured by a digital signature. The data is retained over the long term. Invariance is mandatory. Business, legal and certification requirements are covered. (NAS9300-003, 3.2.5)
