So what if backups are only kept six months?

Because there IS a limit to how much can be stored on the client side PC. Last place I worked, we would get notices from corporate when we were nearing our limit.

According to what they’re saying, the backup tapes are on a six month rotation. When a backup is performed everything is saved, it is a snapshot as of that time. That snapshot will be available for six months. So in June, January’s snapshot is the oldest available. In July, February’s snapshot is the oldest available. And so forth.

When her drive failed it presumably contained all the “lost” email. To illustrate, let’s say her drive failed in January. They have until June to replace her drive and restore the data.

It is impossible to believe that Lerner went without her computer being repaired for six months.

Are you sure about that? That sounds more like a server limit. If you were keeping email on your client the storage limit would be determined by your disk capacity. This would vary from one machine to the next and most machines have large capacity drives. The machine I’m using now is about 7 or 8 years old and it came with an 80GB drive.

You do realize that “the limit” you were notified about was the maximum ALLOCATED space that was made available (for “ACTIVE” emails) for each employees. Typically, more space is ALLOCATED for high level employees than for lower level employees.

And, by the way, when employees “delete” email items to stay below the limit, they are just deleted/removed from that “active” allocated space. They are still retrievable should management (or the employee) need them for any justified reason.

Don’t buy the Obama regime’s BS.
