# Crawl archiving

https://api-docs.lumar.io/docs/graphql/crawl-archiving

Crawl archiving is a fully automated process. It runs in the background, performing data checks every 30 minutes.
Crawls are archived based on multiple policies described below:

## Data retention policy

After crawl becomes older than 60 days, it is archived automatically.

## Large projects policy

Crawls older than the 7 most recent crawls are archived automatically, with the exception of unarchived crawls (see
below).

## Unarchived crawls policy

Unarchived crawls remain available for 7 days. Afterwards, they are archived automatically.
