What do you do as things age?
Destroy or remove all disks?Archive off what is still good and restore the active
items to a new location?Can you even get to them later?

Effective Storage
All these things guarantee you are effectively storing your documents in a defensible and accurate way.

What if you Outsource?
All the things you would do in house would be as important or even more if you outsource.
You MUST set standards, policies and expectations and you must put them in writing and make sure the vendor is adhering to them and audit them as well.
