Abstract

Systems, methods, and software for archiving structured data and associated unstructured data associated are disclosed. Particularly, the structured and unstructured data are archived such that the structured data and the unstructured data remain associated to each other. Properties of the structured data are also applied to the unstructured data, enabling the unstructured data to be retained with the structured data throughout the retention period of the structured data. Moreover, destruction (or prevention of destruction) of the archive data object can be managed and propagated to the unstructured data instances.
