Business Scenario

Often within our integration process there may be the need to perform tasks that we would like to reuse in other parts of our data integration pipeline, in those situations that is where it is useful to create a POJO (Plain Old Java Object) to encapsulate the necessary functionality.

These POJO beans can implement a wide range of integration patterns and capabilities and are relatively easy to develop, deploy and execute.

Data Backup vs. Archiving Solutions

The choice of data backup and archiving solutions differ in how you scan, organize, and store data. You should choose a solution based on the use case for your data, which determines the storage duration and ease of access required.

Data Backup

The use of a data backup will employ copies of active operational data that we will need to access or modify on a regular basis. The generation of a backup doesn’t affect the original data, which remains in the same location or if consumed then we can retain a backup copy. One utilization is to use backup files to restore data files or data structures to previous points in the event of data loss or corruption.

Backups require a shorter storage duration than archive files, with the backup system updating the data frequently. Backup systems typically use a simple storage system, searching files by name, not content.
