That's really a question for your management. Your business type and other laws/guidelines will tell you how long you need to keep your data, the media it's put on is irrelevant. When we were still backing up to tape we did a daily full backup 4 week rotation with a month end and then kept the year end forever.

For those who are still backing up to tape... What do you guys have for tape backup policies? I'm curious as to how far back you are keeping tapes - 1 year? 5 years? I've typically seen a 10 tape rotation w/ a monthly tape put in offsite storage. Is this still common practice? . ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
