Issue Description

I'm desperately trying to deploy a local archive node for the optimism mainnet. I've tried with both op-geth and op-reth. I've followed the provided documentation to "Run an archive node" https://docs.optimism.io/node-operators/guides/management/archive-node.

I've started my nodes from the official archive snapshot provided by Optimism (via datadir.optimism.io), using mainnet-2025-07-17.tar.zst and mainnet-reth-archive-2026-05-12.tar.zst for op-geth and op-reth, respectively.

My issue lies in the fact that those archive snapshots seem to have missing/pruned data, and that those data won't be retrieved through the P2P network.

One example of this is trying to retrieve the execution trace of some transaction post-bedrock (I don't need data from before the bedrock update). This command:

curl -X POST http://localhost:8548   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"debug_traceTransaction","params":["0x67362a6180488e394e2ec27e399b479cef5d030b0c044d35d61b40227eb27acf"],"id":1}'

results in this output:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"error":{"code":-32603,"message":"failed to apply beacon root contract call at 0x6bfe01c0f2b243dc6d6598d9b5e4c14b954f280f1d20db522f6c447d5338729f: database error: Database error: state at block #124037012 is pruned"}}

Am I missing something? Is there a way to force data retrieval for missing/pruned data?

Feedback

Improving the documentation on how to run an optimism archive node and what could be expected would be great.
The same goes for the documentation about the archive snapshots and what is part of it, how to use them, and what the naming convention is.

Is there any developer from Optimism responsible for providing the op-reth or op-geth archive snapshots hosted on datadir.optimism.io who could confirm whether those archive snapshots are missing data from the post-Bedrock upgrade period up to the present?
