Methods, systems, and devices supporting data archiving are described. A device (e.g., an application server) may identify a set of archiving jobs for a first database (e.g., a relational database), where each archiving job indicates a set of data records for archiving. The device may receive a data record of the set of data records from the first database, where the data record is filtered by an abstraction layer (e.g., removing some information from the data record such that the filtered data record corresponds to a user's view of the data record). For example, the filtered data record may include a subset of the total information for the stored data record. The device may transform this received, filtered data record from a first format to a second format supported by a second database. The device may then send the transformed data record to the second database for storage.
