Description
For writing to backup, it would be helpful to have an archival bundler that:
- Tracks incoming files and once a limit of un-archived data is reached raises an alert
- That list can be used by an external tool to generate an archive bundle
- That archive bundle can be sent to tape/external disk/etc
- The archive bundle can be registered back in the database

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the Librarian's file-tracking and database-registration paths, then define how an external tool receives the un-archived file list and returns a registered bundle. Done means threshold alerts work, bundles can be generated and stored externally, and completed bundles are recorded in the database.
