Data Archival and Retrieval

I have an issue with "Exceeded Data Storage" limit in one of my Salesforce Orgs.

Possible Solutions:
  1. Buy additional data storage space from Salesforce.
  2. Delete the unwanted data and archive the remaining data on a periodic basis on business needs in an External Database.
  3. Provision to access the archived data from Salesforce whenever I want to. This retrieval of data is just display of data in Salesforce
My questions:
  1. There has to be code written in Salesforce for pushing data from Salesforce to External Database during archival, but do we have to write code at the database level as well to store and retrieve data?
  2. If the answer is "No" can you suggest some affordable cloud database options where this operation can be done seamlessly?
