# Archive and Restore Telemetry Data

> Use the Mezmo Archive Destination and Pipeline Data Restoration Source to store events in S3 or Azure and restore them later.

Mezmo offers several Pipeline components and features to help you archive and restore telemetry data for later analysis.

## Archive Destination

The  [Mezmo Archive Destination](/telemetry-pipelines/mezmo-archive-destination) enables you to store your events in either S3 or Azure.  This Destination is designed to be compatible with the [Pipeline Data Restoration](/telemetry-pipelines/pipeline-data-restoration-source) Source, but you can use it with other tools that can interface with Azure and S3.

## Pipeline Data Restoration Source

The Mezmo [Pipeline Data Restoration Source](/telemetry-pipelines/pipeline-data-restoration-source)  enables you to send data from Mezmo's Archive Destination into a Pipeline.  This source expects your data to either be regular text log lines or NDJSON.  There is no specific schema expected of NDJSON.

## Restore Telemetry Data to a Pipeline or Log Analysis

1. In the Mezmo Web app, go to **Archiving > Pipeline Restoration**.
2. Enter a **Name** for the Restoration Task.
3. Enter the **Time range** for the data you want to restore.
4. Select the **Archive** you want to restore the data from.
5. Select the **Destination** where you want to restore the data.
