Extending an expiration time of an object associated with an archive

A computing system comprising:

• non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions;
• and
• processing circuitry that executes the instructions to:
• determine, based at least in part on a second data management policy associated with a second archive, an expiration time for one or more objects included in a first archive associated with a first data management policy;
• store the first archive to a remote storage, wherein at least a portion of the first archive references data chunks stored in a chunk object of the remote storage;
• determine whether the first archive is subject to a data lock period;
• before extending the expiration time for the one or more objects included in the first archive, determine whether to extend the expiration time for the one or more objects included in the first archive based at least in part on a rate of change between the first and second archives;
• extend the expiration time for the one or more objects included in the first archive in response to a determination that the first archive is subject to the data lock period;
• determine the first archive has expired;
• and
• perform, according to the expiration time for the one or more objects included in the first archive, based on determining the first archive has expired and none of one or more objects included in the second archive reference the data chunks stored in the chunk object, garbage collection of the chunk object of the remote storage.

Non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions that, when executed, cause processing circuitry of a computing system to:

• determine, based at least in part on a second data management policy associated with a second archive, an expiration time for one or more objects included in a first archive associated with a first data management policy;
• store the first archive to a remote storage, wherein at least a portion of the first archive references data chunks stored in a chunk object of the remote storage;
• determine whether the first archive is subject to a data lock period;
• before extending the expiration time for the one or more objects included in the first archive, determine whether to extend the expiration time for the one or more objects included in the first archive based at least in part on a rate of change between the first and second archives;
• extend the expiration time for the one or more objects included in the first archive in response to a determination that the first archive is subject to the data lock period;
• determine the first archive has expired;
• and
• perform, according to the expiration time for the one or more objects included in the first archive, based on determining the first archive has expired and none of one or more objects included in the second archive reference the data chunks stored in the chunk object, garbage collection of the chunk object of the remote storage.
