Just means it's not pruned. Currently I run only a pruned node meaning it only holds the last 200GB of the blockchain. An archival node holds the entire blockchain.

This is also why I got a 2TB drive. Currently the full chain is just over 500GB but I want this to be futureproof.

As well as helping the network more, there's things you can do with an archival node that you can't do with a pruned one, e.g. run Electrum X and Mempool.

I plan to run Electrum, Mempool, and BTCPayServer on this.
