Backups?

What does the law say about backups? Is there a requirement to delete information from all backups? How about backups on WORM optical media?

And what about other requirements - insurance policies that run for 12 months may include an element of liability for years in the future. The policy details really should be kept as long as is necessary.

This all sounds a bit silly - more legislation drafted by people who don't know what they're talking about. Unusual though, for it to come from Brussels - Westminster is normally the expert at drafting impossible legislation (see the 2011 Sun Rising in the West Act)
