Legal primarily but really it's both.
If you become unable to provide the data for discovery most judges will find
the company in contempt, and potentially jail the senior leadership
depending on the severity of the situation. They might also issue a summary
judgement against the company.
That's why corporate council needs to be involved in any data retention
program.

Hi Paul
You wrote
One more condition affecting a purge-- any data supporting any legal battles

resolved (with any appeals, etc. etc.) 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!

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

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