  • Option to retain data < 1 hour if the hourly average is flagged in any way (and an option to "keep entire day" if any hourly average is flagged).

Archive may also be performed by copying the SQL database and deleting undesired data sets. This is less desirable because:Upgrades may require 'DNC' update script to be run on all database copies, or keep in XML-like format with column tags.While database copies are open, all realtime functions must be shut down to avoid loss ofstate table information.Archived data should have a mechanism to be restored.
