1. A system comprising:
a microprocessor; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium, coupled with the microprocessor and comprising microprocessor readable and executable instructions that, when executed by the microprocessor, cause the microprocessor to:
initiate an archive process on an operational database, wherein the archive process comprises a sub-archive and a final archive, wherein the sub-archive comprises a plurality of sub-archives, wherein the sub-archive saves changes in the operational database that have occurred since a previous final archive, wherein a number of sub-archives in the plurality of sub-archives is based on a number of outstanding changes in the operational database since the previous final archive, wherein a delay time between each of the plurality of sub-archives is based on the number of outstanding changes in the operational database since the previous final archive and a series of progressively smaller incremental time values, wherein changes to the operational database are allowed during the sub-archive, and wherein the sub-archive and the final archive run in series.
