Archiving
---------
Automatically archiving this data, based on a configurable duration, is simply a
process of breaking the file at an arbitrary line, and making sure the active
set of exclusions are inserted after the break, thus leaving each file in a
readable state with no data loss.
Data File Names
---------------
The data file names will have the year and month embedded, which acts as a
heuristic for filtering, keeps the data files small and therefore quicker to
manipulate, and eliminates the need for any sophisticated archiving.
---
- If the data files have the year and month in the name ('2016-02.data') then
archiving is a non-issue.
