German term or phrase: Datenauslagerung
Datenauslagerung der Altdaten

Clear a process of removing old data from a server - various maintenance services are listed

Clarification request(s) and response
Michael Bailey: 4:18pm Sep 1, 2005: It would appear to be a service where data that is no longer required, and which only appears to slow down the server, is removed to ensure that the server performance is improved.

external storage
Explanation:
... i.e. outside storage of old data that is no longer required and would otherwise adversely affect system performance. To me, it appears that this data is still to be kept somewhere else (such as at an external storage facility provided by an IT contractor), rather than to be deleted for good.

That's at least what I'd say here.

data backup


Explanation:
For services offered by a company, data backup sounds more probable than data deletion.

neutral Hilary Davies: i think you're thinking along the right lines, but backups are not necessarily "old data that needs to be removed" - most servers are backed up daily or weekly so that system restores can be performed if a server fails

neutral Aniello Scognamiglio: with Hilary.

disagree amassot: Data Backup is pretty much Datensicherung and I don't think it would be used for Auslagerung...sorry

offsite storage


Explanation:
Tivoli Storage Manager is a software that uses this term for removing data and storing it "offsite" meaning offline and generally includes everything. I.e. it could be on tape, on different server or even at totally different location. The exact definition of datenauslagerung would depend on the company and how they handle their data. Our IT department uses all the terms proposed here which all differ slightly defined within the company!
