Jay--

I agree that everyone wants every piece of data since the beginning of time on-line for quick access. But how active is that data? Probably not very.

We keep our month ending backups practically forever. These are now complete Option/21 backups, so we can reconstruct the system as it existed at that time, including the programs that can access the files.

So our goal now is to convince everyone that once Legal says the purge is allowed, we need to purge!

One more condition affecting a purge-- any data supporting any legal battles ongoing-- which starts another 7-year-clock for that data once the case is resolved (with any appeals, etc. etc.)

Paul... No doubt... but every legacy shop i have worked in has been an
absolute hoarder of on-demand ANCIENT data...

Try to convince The Powers That Be that data more than 5 years old should
be purged from the system! (:

Thx Charles. We have *max4gb on our access paths so first thing we are
going to do is change them to *max1tb
