# Resting Spaces

During a Space's lifecycle, you will often have periods when you don't need to access the data, but you still want to keep it available on Nuvolos for future use. The **resting** feature reduces storage costs by moving data you do not currently need to a more affordable storage class. When you are ready to work with it again, a single click brings it back to the high-performance Nuvolos Filesystem.

A Space can be in one of five states:

* **Live** - the normal state. Files are stored on the Nuvolos Filesystem and ready to use.
* **Pre-resting** - the Space meets the criteria to be rested within 24 hours. Files are still accessible. Starting any Application returns the Space to Live.
* **Entering Rest** - a brief transitional state (a few minutes) while data is moved from pre-resting to rested. No actions are allowed during this time.
* **Resting** - data has been moved to cost-effective resting storage. You can still download or distribute files through a snapshot, but you cannot run Applications.
* **Waking** - data is moving back from resting storage to the Nuvolos Filesystem. This can take from a few minutes to several hours, depending on data volume and type.

Resting is configured at the organisation level by organisation managers, in coordination with Nuvolos support.
