That short of a duration for backups always makes me queasy. I wonder if it really provides the kind of legal cover that people think it does, and whether it's been thoroughly tested over several cases in different jurisdictions.
After all, my understanding is that many kinds of financial records are required to be kept for 5-7 years - why wouldn't the same apply to other corporate documents? This is more rhetorical than substantive querying - and pretty much off topic for the list, but once in a while these things bubble up in my mind, and I wonder aloud about them...
