This is my first post.  I have been lurking in the wings for a while and appreciate the information that is shared.  I have also cross-posted this question on the ER List,  so forgive the duplication if you subscribe to both lists.

I have a questions about how companies are handling retention of convenience copies of electronic documents.  Though we try to discourage additional copies on an electronic record, users may place a copy on a SharePoint collaboration site for ease of access.  I can see a number of ways to address classification, each with its benefits and drawbacks.

Options we have considered include flagging as convenience copies, classifying as information/reference, keep in draft status to auto delete in 400 days, etc.

Thanks in advance for any input and insights you can share.
