I never heard of that before. Is that a legal requirement - or a company requirement

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!

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