# Archive By default, when purchasing a Log Project package, depending on the package you purchase, there will be different Log Retention such as: 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days or 90 days. Log Retention is defined by us as the log storage period. If the log line has a time outside the Log Retention period, it will be deleted by our system. If you need to store log data longer than these times, you can use the Log Archive feature to synchronize data to vStorage for long-term storage. You can follow the instructions below: 1. Log in to . If you don't have an account, register for free [here](https://register.vngcloud.vn/signup) . 2. **Select the Log** folder . 3. Select **Log project.** 4. Select the **log project** name you want to **archive** . 5. On the screen displaying **Log project** information , on the **Archive** tab , select **Archive** . 6. Enter **Archive name** according to our regulations. **Archive name** must be from 1 (minimum) to 63 (maximum) characters. **Archive names** can include uppercase letters, lowercase letters (az, AZ), numbers (0-9) or hyphens. **The Archive name** must begin with a letter and end with a letter or a number.
7\. Enter **Filter** for the log if you need to only synchronize data that meets this condition, otherwise we will synchronize all Logs of the currently selected Log Project.
