    Hello
    “Depending on your business, there might be federal or state regulatory requirements that dictate what needs to be preserved, and for how long. In our experience, the most conservative approach is to use online backup and to institute a comprehensive business document retention policy that examines all data types and distinguishes between ‘operationally critical’ data and ‘important but static’ data,” says Dave Minns, client services manager at Storage Guardian. “When selecting an online backup provider, make sure that the provider lets you define a data retention policy that can migrate aged data to less expensive storage, and that does not delete it after 30 days.”

    Implementing Backup Life cycle Management Storage Guardian recommends a ‘set it and forget it’ approach based on Backup Lifecycle Management , which intelligently migrates ‘static’ data to lower-cost storage media that can cost as little as 50 cents per compressed gigabyte.

    Examples of static data that is a good candidate for this approach: – File types that will have only a single generation / version, and will not change again: photos, audio-visual media, PDFs, images, one-time log files, etc. – Email, calendar, task, to-do records that have aged past a user-defined point in time – Instant Message & Web chat logs – Voice recording files – Folder structures holding prior years’ business record files
