Backup Tapes Are Not The Best Solution For FRCP Compliance

The problem with backup tapes isn't actually storing the data, it is producing relevant messages efficiently when requested by legal counsel for FRCP compliance. The task of going through a backup tape and to find specific messages is difficult and time-consuming.

One of the key aspects of FRCP compliance is being able to produce relevant ESI efficiently.

Therefore, it's important to include an archiving solution into your company’s email retention policy.

In addition, you can choose to work with a hosted email archiving solution, which means you wouldn't have to worry about storage of your backup tapes or maintenance.

Do the research, find an email archiving company, and ask them how using their services would improve over using backup tapes.
