# Archive and Restore Files

You can archive files to prevent them from processing. You can restore archived files at any time.

When archiving ETL files, keep these considerations in mind:

- The ability to archive ETL job files requires a Feeds role with Cancel permissions enabled. See [Verify Feeds Role Permission Settings](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_pers_etl_feeds_role_perm_verify.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To cancel running ETL jobs or manage feed files, ensure that the Cancel permission for the Feeds role is enabled.").
- You can restore archived SFTP files. However, restoring archived Data 360 files isn’t supported. To re-initiate a CDP Activation ETL, we recommend reinitiating the activation on Data 360 using the same configuration.

To archive SFTP or Data 360 files:

1. From the main navigation, select **Feeds** | **SFTP Files** or **Feeds** | **Data Cloud Files**.
2. Click the the /inbound or Salesforce-Genie-Activation/meta-data directory.
3. Select one or more files that you want to archive. You can archive up to 50 files at a time.
    
    The **Archive** button appears in the upper right corner of the page.
4. Click **Archive**.
    
    The system moves the selected files to the /archived directory.

You can restore up to 50 SFTP files at a time by selecting them from the /archived directory and clicking Restore.
