Good advice. We are subject to public records requests and many public records have a retention time of forever so our lawyers advised us to keep everything forever. We set up a separate system with journaling, but that doesn't mean every email we send is a public record, most/many are not.

The biggest thing we as technologists have to keep in mind with eDiscovery, is that we DON'T set the policy. The legal department MUST be involved, and let us know what the policy is. We then create the solution to meet those needs. If your legal department is not supplying you with the needed parameters, you're just going to flounder.

The question is..... Last week we received an eDiscovery request for something from 5 years ago. I would not have had those mailboxes on litigation hold all this time as I cannot possibly predict who will be involved in litigation. So that is why I think I need to keep everything.. I don't see where Litigation Hold can fit into this.. does it?? Or am I missing something here?

We are inching along towards Hybrid mode for Exchange 2016 and Office 365. We are currently on Exchange 2010. What are folks doing for eDiscovery on Office 365? Currently, we do nightly backups to tape, (Backup Exec) and send monthlies off site. This is older architecture, I know, but we seem to have enough eDiscovery from various years that we need to do this. I use Kroll Ontrack to help with searching and recovering email and that has worked well for us. So.. no backups on O365. Do we just say, archive everything, regardless and then search their archives if needed or ?? I have a chat coming up with Legal about what they want to keep. It seems that the culture here is to keep everything. :( Just wondering what other folks are doing for O365 eDiscovery, how long you are keeping data, what size mailboxes you are allocating, etc. we probably also have many TB of data to suck up from PST's. I will save that question for another email.. :) Thanks, Alice
