I need to retire datasets from our SDE databases to our Retirement Geodatabase. There are several relationship classes tied to these datasets. How can I export the feature class with its relationship class intact and working. This needs to be done incase it needs to be un-retired at some point.

    @gomapping Archiving is overused and really doesn't convey what we are doing. To me something that is archived is on a shelf and is never to be used again unless in dire circumstances. Retirement is just a relocation of data, it can always and easily be pulled out of retirement if needed.

Well in the end it was super easy. Just copy the TABLE to my retired Geodatabase and all of the feature classes and relationship classes copied as well. Always the easiest answer that is hardest to find.

I just used the ArcCatalog copy and paste functions.
