Backup tapes should be kept as short a period of time as the organization
will accept. I'd keep them a week if IT were willing. The key is to note in
the policy that backup tapes are for business continuity/disaster
recovery/"smoke & rubble"-type scenarios and not meant to be used for
records management, archiving, or anything other than that.
