True.  I'm only keeping one week.  Too much data can be as hazardous as not
enough.

Subject: RE: MILLENNIUM: backups


I am curious if any institution's are rethinking their backup policies in 
the light of the Patriot Act.  It seems to me that the information backed 
up in the bib temp files would include daily circulation data that could be 
requested under the act.  If this is true (and I'd appreciate it if anyone 
could confirm my guess), then I would think that fewer backups would be 
preferable to the 3 and 4 week cycles that some have described.
