What does your company want for a retention period for deleted VM. We started at 2 weeks, now I think we are 6 weeks.<br>
<br>
2. for regulatory or legal requirements (state or local laws) what are those, we post on an MOU we only keep them for a specific period of time. If we have a request for anything outside of the MOU, we say we dont keep backups for that long.<br>
<br>
3. do you use the integration to outlook? VM files will be kept under the outlook retention time also......<br>
<br>
4. we have 6,000 VM boxes, our database size is 20 gig total, we set the VM box size to be small.<br>

It really depends on whether you have regulatory or legal requirements to retain your voicemails. Voicemails are an electronic record that can be requested for audits or legal discovery.<br>
<br>
</span>I understand the desire to groom out the messages in 21-30 days to keep the database humming along - but it has to be balanced with the possible need for retention & compliance. A conversation across functions is probably a really good idea to find out what your stakeholders need too.<br>
<br>
My understanding is that Unity Connection has a limit for VM storage - I think it's 2 TB. Depending on the size of your organization and how many voicemails your users are averaging in their mailboxes - that limit can get tight. An easy option to satisfy both IT management & retention compliance is a solution like Message Vault. Retains records as needed, enables a very short retention length that keeps your UCN database tidy.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<br>

So I was just wanting to reach out and see what everybody thinks is a reasonable unity message aging scheme? What point does it get to a point where you start having storage issues?<br>
