Enterprise Vault Maximum retension time?

Hi there

We use Symantec Enterprise Vault and have been told that Enterprise Vault has a maximum retension period of 7 years before the product starts dropping archived email.  Is this correct?

 

Thanks

     It might be true based on the retention configuration for your company approved retention policy, but it isn't a limitation of EV.  EV can maintain items forever.

    yes, that's true, my company policy was set to Forever so it never gets deleted, at the expense of larger SQL database and EV VaultStore partition disk size.
