## Summary {#summary}
There are several ways to sync a Geth node. The default is to use snap sync to create a full node. Full nodes can be created by syncing block-by-block from genesis (full-sync) or by starting at an intermediate checkpoint block (snap-sync). By default, these modes prune state data older than 128 blocks, keeping only checkpoints that enable on-request regeneration of historical states. For rapid queries of historical data an archive node is required. Archive nodes keep local copies of all historical data right back to genesis - currently about 12 TB and growing. Partial archive nodes can be created by snap-syncign a node and turning off state-pruning to create a node that keeps all states since the initial sync block. Currently, due to the transition to proof-of-stake, light-sync does not work (new light client protocols are being developed).
