IANAL either, but I have previously heard from people who are that you can't be expected to produce that which you do not have, you're not expected to have what you're not required to have, and if you anticipate future legal action EVER you should have and follow a policy of keeping nothing more than the minimum required. No "it might be on a retired backup tape", no "there might be traces on a crashed hard drive we kept for no good reason" - if you're done with it, DESTROY it. Then again, that might just be a DC perspective... -- Dave Salovesh RAM Associates, Inc.
