I need some straight up information on if I am required by law to archive email.<br />
<br />
We are a small business ranging from 25 to 35 emaul users. We are in the retail sales industry in Oregon and currently use MS Exchange 2010 Standard edition ans SQL Server 2008 Standard.<br />
<br />
I continuasly recieve emails from companies with archive solutions stating it is regulatory for me to be archiving. I have searched and cant find any regulations this company would fall under.<br />
<br />
With that said; I would like to find an affordable archive solution anyway even if it is not regulated for us; any thoughts?<br />
<br />
Thank You,<br />

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
