Backup & Retention Policy

Banner

The Banner system's most important part is the database. We keep seven days of Database backups for Disaster recovery, and six months of logs around to remain compliant with auditing requirements.

Banner - 7 days (DR)

Email

Deleted Item Retention is set to 60 days. This setting means that if a user deleted an item from their Inbox, it will remain in their "Recover From Deleted Items" area for 60 days.

Email system/database backups are kept for 21 days. This means the total time we could recover a persons email account is 81 days.
