Question: What are the average industry standards for the length of time data/tape are stored off site? Do we keep a quarter, a month, etc. I understand it's different based on your business but just as a general guideline...

he minimum records retention requirements regulations vary by state and by data type, but typically they range from three years to permanent. Legally, most businesses need to keep records long term. Broadly speaking, state and federal regulation require:


Business records: 7 years to permanent
Contracts: 7 years to permanent
Employee records: 3 years
Payroll records: 3 to 7 years

Permanent - Looks like iForem is the only real solution here.
