Before making the executive decision about keeping records indefinitely
you might want to find out whether or not your company has a retention
schedule and then consult with your business and Legal groups to get their
approval.
As others have said it is not in the companies best interest to keep
information indefinitely. Even if you are not going to destroy the
information anytime in the near future I would recommend building in the
metadata and classifying the information upfront so when you decide to
start destroying the information it has the proper classification so you can
easily pick out the data that is eligible for destruction.
