Archive data is used to archive all reservations, group reservations (including banqueting data), and invoices from a specific year. To improve performance and part of the data retention features, APMA supports the ability to archive old data. The feature also removes old internal logging, such as the changes log. Archiving the data every few years helps the PMS performance.
