You can pause archive jobs during specific steps of the archive job. For example, you can pause the job at the delete from source step for Oracle sources. To pause the job from a specific step, open the status for the step. When you resume the job, the job starts at the point where it paused.
For SAP retirement projects, Data Archive extracts data from special SAP tables as packages. When you resume the job, the job resumes the data extraction process, starting from the point after the last package was successfully extracted.
