DataStage is an ETL tool. Extraction, transformation and load. You could design jobs that extract data from tables and move them elsewhere, with or without transformation, but archiving (and retrieval from archive) are not really the main intended purpose. Most database products have their own archiving facilities.

If you have a specific requirement, post that and you'll probably get more precisely targeted answers.
