Dwight,
 
These are all very good points.  Our goal is to be able to archive content from databases and manage it according to our retention schedule.  That is a very simple statement and a not so simple task.  Our processes may vary for legacy systems, and/or databases that don't have capabilities for easy archiving.  However, I would rather create stricter requirements and have exceptions for those legacy databases, than to set the bar too low and just perform "backups" or database snapshots as our archiving solution.

I appreciate the links provided by other list members and the points you made in your email.  It has given me something to base my discussion on.
