archivable

Fit for storage

Archivable describes something suitable or ready for storage in an archive.

Documents, files, or records that meet preservation standards are archivable: Make sure the format is archivable before submitting.

In computing, archivable often refers to data that can be compressed or moved to long-term storage: The system flags old emails as archivable after ninety days.
