Procedure of retrieving archived data from delta table

Hi all,

I am currently researching on the archive support features in Databricks. https://docs.databricks.com/en/optimizations/archive-delta.html

Let say I have enabled archive support and configured the data to be archived after 5 years and I also configured lifecycle management policy to move data file to archive tier after 5 years.

I would like to know the procedure of retrieving those archive data. As per my understanding, I should move the corresponding data files from archive tier to hot tier on storage side first.

May I know what should I do on Databricks side if I want to retrieve the data 1) before 7 years and 2) from the very beginning?

Highly appreciate if someone can help me out with this question. Thanks in advance.
