Hi, I have been tasked to figure out the law on the Electronic Records Retention (i.e. Email) &amp;&nbsp;was wondering what your take is on this. &nbsp;Since we are a state funded community college, we need to have some sort of retention policy in place or else we have to keep all email, including spam. &nbsp;But I am unsure about the Federal laws pertaining to this topic.<br />
<br />
I found this link, but it is a bunch of political babble to me.<br />

<br />
So, anyone know the length of retention for email on the Federal law side of things?<br />
<br />
Also, what is your retention policy?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your time.<br />
<br />

What is your Electronic Records Retention Policy?

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
