I will also suggest you talk to your lawyers first and figure out what
you need to do.
Here are some suggestions after you talk to your lawyers.
1. write/update policies to include electronic data and how long it
will be kept for.
2. write/update policies for data retention.
3. work with the IT team for hardware, software and space required and
possible issues.
4. write/update process for data recovery.
5. review your plan with the lawyers.
