# Data archiving
[](# "Print this article")
## Dataset archiving
openBIS supports archiving of datasets to Strongbox
([https://www.strongboxdata.com/](https://www.strongboxdata.com/)) as
described in [Datasets
Archiving](https://unlimited.ethz.ch/display/openBISDoc2010/Archiving+Datasets)
This needs to be set up and configured by a *system admin*.
To trigger archiving manually from the ELN, navigate to a dataset and
use the *Request or disallow archiving* button, as shown below.
Please note that the strongbox has a minimum size requirement of
**10GB**. If a single dataset is below this threshold it will be queued
for archiving and it will be archived only when additional datasets in
the same *Space/Project/Experiment* are selected for archiving and the
minimum size is reached. All datasets are bundled together and archived
together. This implies that if unarchiving is requested for one dataset
in a bundle, all other datasets will also be unarchived.
### Dataset archiving helper tool
If you wish to archive multiple datasets, you can use the **Archiving
Helper** tool under **Utilities** in the main menu. You can search for
datasets and select multiple ones to be archived, by clicking the
**Request Archiving** button on the top of the page.
It is possible to search datasets by size, by selecting *Property* in
the **Field Type**, *Size (bytes)\[ATTR.SIZE\]* in the **Field Name**
and the desired **Comparator Operator**, as shown below.
## Dataset unarchiving
Once the dataset is archived on tapes, the button on the dataset page
changes to **Unarchive**, as shown below. Datasets can be unarchived by
using this button.
### Dataset unarchiving helper tool
To unarchive several datasets it is possible to use the **Unarchiving
Helper** tool, under **Utilities** in the main menu, as shown below. You
can search for datasets and select multiple ones to be unarchived, using
the **Unarchive** button on tope of the page.
