Hi Cherry,

There is something called as Optical Archiving where one stores the archive data on optical medias such as MO, UDO. If you are looking a legal compliance part of data storage then you will need to store data on optical medias. Also optical media such as UDO, MO have longer life as compared to hard disks and offer you WORM capability. Standard SAP Archiving does not support storing data on to Optical medias. 3rd party archiving software provide you facility to store on variety of storage mediums such as MO, CD, DVD, UDO, Tape etc. Moreover 3rd party archiving software provide you with may other benefits too such as archiving emails, desktop files etc. I would suggest that you make a study or invite vendors to showcase their solution n then decide what is best for you.
