Hello, I'm curious how many systems have a policy for how long you keep evergreen data backups. And I'm also wondering how long you keep your backup snapshots? I heard a comment from leadership of another library system that they keep 2 tapes/copies. The one in the drive waiting to be written and the one copy that is off site. With the goal of minimizing historical data that can be seized by law enforcement.
I've always been way more paranoid of any one backup being bad vs worrying about data being seized, so the idea of only having one or two backup snapshots of the database makes me nervous.
