that sounds like a functional question; I can't decide what functionality you need, you should know. :)

Surely that depends on couple of things; 1) is the old data still required to be accesssed regularly 2) is the storage system running out of space there are probably other factors........ If the data is no longer required to be routinely accessed and/or you are short of space, then archive out to another medium. As for backup, you should be running routine incremental or full backup whenever you feel it is appropriate given the value of the data and business impact in the event of a data interruption.
