  Every report generated by the phpOpenTracker API is a projection from
  a hypercube of information. Storing such a projection and deleting the
  original data would result in a permanent loss of data.

  That said, I'm not sure if one really needs the wealth of information
  the phpOpenTracker API is able to provide for data older than a certain
  timeframe.
