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.

Thanks
Josh
