A city attorney places a legal hold on email related to a lawsuit, but the default backup policy purges sets after 30 days. What should operations do for the affected backups?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A legal hold is a do-not-shred sticker on those boxes. You keep the relevant backups past the usual 30-day trash day until counsel says otherwise.
Full Explanation
Retention policies must accommodate legal and compliance holds that preserve specific data beyond normal purge schedules. Continuing an automatic 30-day deletion for held content risks spoliation. Holds are operational retention overrides, not a reason to publish or destroy evidence.
