Backup critical data retention period

[tobiasclarity]

Hi All,

 

Just wondered if everyone could feedback what their retention policies are for critical data / coursework etc. I remember reading somewhere it is 7 years but just wanted to see how everyone else is doing it.

 

Cheers

A good place to start is the Records Management Toolkit for Schools, RM Toolkit for Schools - Information and Records Management Society

Data is data - digital or not! The retention periods referred to in this document apply to any format.
