Our organisation works in the Health space and as such we have a legal obligation to keep records on file for 10 years. On the other side of the coin we also have to comply with Privacy legislation that allows clients to 'be forgotten'.
What solution do you know of / recommend for archiving, that would allow us to get records away from end users but still accessible to selected users for legal purposes?
Do you have a preference for a native solution, or a separate one?
And do these solutions generally integrate with back-up functionality or would you keep that separate?
The distinction between archiving and deleting is probably the key point here. Old records may need to disappear from everyday views without disappearing altogether. Big Objects could have a role, although a managed solution might reduce the development burden. Retention rules should come before choosing the technology. Otherwise, the system ends up solving a problem nobody properly defined.
