Keep data as long as the law requires

Set how long to keep backups. Rediacc keeps them that long, then cleans up. HIPAA, SOC2, and GDPR rules are covered from day one.

Set retention rules
THE PROBLEM

Compliance failures are expensive

The law says keep data for years. Miss it and the fines, audits, or lawsuits follow. Most backup tools treat this as an afterthought, so retention gets tracked by hand in a spreadsheet. Then the auditor calls.

HOW IT WORKS

One command. Full compliance.

1

Set policies

Run rdc config backup-strategy set. Set how long to keep data for each rule or data type.

2

Automate

Rediacc enforces the rules on its own. Old backups get cleaned up on schedule. No spreadsheets. No cron jobs.

3

Audit

Run rdc retention report for a full audit-ready report in seconds. It exports straight to the security log tool.

UNDER THE HOOD

Why spreadsheet compliance fails

Spreadsheet compliance means tracking backup dates by hand, running cleanup scripts, and hoping nothing slipped before the auditor shows up. Rediacc keeps, checks, and cleans up backups on its own. No human steps.

THE GAP

Retention compliance compared

Most backup tools store data. Few enforce how long to keep it. None check that old backups can still be restored.
