With all the changes to processing, could all these different virtual  
elements create problems with enforcing any level of retention  
scheduling.

For example, virtual computing spread computing around to various  
servers without a real defined directory.  This file on that server  
at this time and so on. Now Cloud computing put this even more  
remote.  So you go along removing and destroying documents at the end  
of their life cycle.  But somewhere Servers were pulled of line due  
to maintenance issues and sits there idle.  It misses it de- 
duplication cycle and then a subpoena comes along and various servers  
are sitting out there, off line and holding documents that are past  
retention schedule but were never destructed.

Computer systems are not designed to deal with retention schedules  
and they create and store documents in many locations that are not  
thought of when management cycles are reviewed.

Un less someone creates a new form of records management software  
that can search out all these items.  But if a server if offline for  
repair when this happens, it just is missed.

Am I wrong?
