If you need to keep the data, then remove the option to delete it. Instead, create another library called Archive, and move the items to that library via a workflow. <br />
<br />
For example, all files older than X amount of days get removed from the active list and get archived.<br />
<br />
I would then download my archived library periodically to on-site storage.

We are looking to migrate file data to SharePoint. We have a requirement to store all data for 7 years. If data is deleted by anybody with the appropriate permissions, I understand that deleted data is only kept for 90 days under Office365?<br />
<br />
If that's the case and Microsoft don't offer any mechanism to restore deleted data past 90 days, how is this managed? Do you need to use a third party tool to provide this capability?
