 - Once the blobs are marked as Archive, they can no longer be modified by the gateway unless they are moved to the hot or cold tier. If the file is in the local storage, any changes made to the local copy (including deletes) are not uploaded to the Archive tier.
 - To read data in Archive storage, you must rehydrate the data by changing the blob tier to hot or cool. [Refreshing the share](data-box-gateway-manage-shares.md#refresh-shares) on the gateway does not rehydrate the blob.

 After data is uploaded, you should periodically analyze your containers and blobs to understand how they are stored, organized, and used in production. Then, use lifecycle management policies to move data to the most cost-efficient tiers. For example, data that has not been accessed for more than 30 days might be more cost efficient if placed into the cool tier. Consider archiving data that has not been accessed for over 180 days.

 ## Blob lifecycle management
 
 Blob storage lifecycle management offers a rule-based policy that you can use to transition your data to the desired access tier when your specified conditions are met. You can also use lifecycle management to expire data at the end of its life. See [Optimize costs by automating Azure Blob Storage access tiers](./lifecycle-management-overview.md) to learn more.
