off-site storage

Distant holding facility

Off-site storage is the practice of keeping documents, data, or physical items at a location separate from the main facility.

Businesses use off-site storage for backup copies of important records, archived files, or inventory that doesn't need immediate access: The company keeps its backup tapes in off-site storage.

The distance provides protection against disasters that might destroy the primary location.
