The proliferation of both paper and electronic copies in various repositories poses challenges. Eric's example of back-ups adds to our headaches. In the perfect world (the Holy Grail so to speak) every document would be stored in an enterprise content management system or one or two locations/repositories. Before I sign off an RM-3 I contact all offices that might have copies and inform them that the records can be disposed. Can I be sure they have following my instructions? Pretty difficult since I don't have access to their shared drives, SharePoint sites, email and other potential repositories and means. This requires lots of outreach and follow-up. I would also include some praying with the hope that the records don't mysteriously appear due to litigation or a FOIA request. Bruce L.

Once an electronic record reaches the end of its scheduled retention period and is destroyed in compliance with its scheduled method of disposition, how is the destruction of copies and backups of the records accomplished? As an example, you have destroyed a record in SharePoint in compliance with its retention and disposition schedule but the backup copy is held for a year. How do you achieve timely destruction?
