archivers
Digital storage specialists
Archivers are people or programs that create and maintain archives.
In computing, an archiver is software that compresses files into a single package for storage or transfer: WinZip and 7-Zip are popular archivers.
The human sense refers to those who systematically preserve records, documents, or digital content: Internet archivers saved copies of the deleted pages.
