Email Retention Options
• Schedule-Based Retention
• Uniform Retention
• Functional Retention (“Big Bucket” retention)
• Account Holder Retention
![Page 45: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Schedule-Based Retention
• Each mailbox owner:
• Categorizes each message
• Matches the message to a specific schedule item
• Determines the disposition date
• Files the message in an appropriate place
• Disposes of the message when appropriate
![Page 46: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Pros and Cons Schedule-Based Retention • Pros
• Conforms to current retention rules
• Employs mailbox owner’s knowledge
• Does not require additional software or hardware
• Cons
• Labor intensive
• Increased costs
• User resistance
• Often impracticable
![Page 47: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Uniform Retention
• A single predetermined retention period for most email
• Applies to the official copy
• Most common retention is 3-10 years
• Exceptions for emails that need longer or shorter retention
• Event-based retentions
• Automatically deleted from email server
• Discourage saving emails outside the email server
![Page 48: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Uniform Retention Pros and Cons• Pros
• Easier to understand (than schedule-based)
• Less decision-making
• More compliance from mailbox owners
• Cons
• Goes against over 50 years of retention practice
• Keep records longer than you need
• Requires more storage capacity
• Affects performance of email servers
![Page 49: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Functional Retention
• Consolidates schedules into broader functions
• Also known as “the big bucket theory”
• Middle ground between schedule-based retention and uniform retention
• Can use functional headings in schedules to implement
![Page 50: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Big Bucket Example
• From the ED-1
• Bank Statement [109] 6 years
• Budget preparation file [55] 6 years
• Voucher [121] 6 years
• Daily cash record [100] 6 years
• Purchase order [269] 6 years
• Big Bucket Approach
• Fiscal – 6 years
![Page 51: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Big Buckets Pros and Cons
• Pros
• Simplifies role of end user
• Simplifies system requirements
• Improves consistency
• Cons
• Leads to some increases in retention periods
• Goes against over 50 years of retention practice
![Page 52: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Account Holder Retention
• Manage retention by email account
• Retention is based on email account holder’s work
• And/or the account holder’s position
• Examples
• Mayor’s and secretary’s email account is permanent
• Fiscal officer’s email account is six years
• All other clerical staff is 1 year
![Page 53: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Preservation Concerns
• Will file be readable for entire retention period?
• Format less of a concern for short term retention
• Native or neutral format (e.g. .doc, PDF, etc.)
• Long term document and image formats
• PDF/A
• Tagged Image File Format – TIFF
![Page 54: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Media Limitations
![Page 55: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Media Storage Standards
• Store media in proper environment
• Dust-free, closed container
• Temperature (60 -68 ); Humidity (35%-45%)
• Properly labeled
• Keep away from cleaning supplies & chemicals
• Keep secure
• Maintain access log
![Page 56: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Strategies: Social Media
• In most cases records will need to be extracted
• Built in tools
• Generally free
• May not extract data in a useful format
• May not extract complete record information
• 3rd party applications
• May have costs associated with them
• More selection
• May not extract complete record information
![Page 57: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Strategies: Migration
• Maintenance
• Tape should be periodically rewound (every 24 months)
• Periodically refresh or transfer data to new media
• Develop migration plan
• Move/convert data before system is obsolete
• Include in budget
• Consider as hardware & software changes
• Test process
![Page 58: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Strategies: Digital Preservation Systems• Utilize the OAIS model to preserve records
• Example: Preservica, Archivematica
• Best for long-term and permanent records
• Require significant resources to implement
![Page 59: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Preserving Databases
• How to preserve what is constantly changing?
• Start with need and then address in policy
• Snapshots captured at predetermined periods
• Determine retention requirements
• Long term retention requires movement to XML
![Page 60: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Why not rely just on backups to preserve permanente-records?
![Page 61: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Policies and Procedures
• Integrate e-records into overall RM program• One RM program; e-records are just another
format
• Must have senior official’s support• Governing board acceptance
• Get IT input • Often do not have time to write themselves
• Document systems & retain for life of system
![Page 62: Managing Born-Digital Documents - NYALGRO](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020621/61e9fb86ea7f0345c345d1a8/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Examples of Policies
• Acceptable use• Systems use, social media, etc.
• Organizing• How files (including email) should be named &
filed
• Roles and responsibilities• Record coordinators, administrators, etc.
• Protection• Back-up procedures
• Security, passwords
