Configure Data Retention of Data in Archive #81

Open borischen opened 12 years ago

borischen commented 12 years ago

For instance, if you are required to keep all data for 7 years, then the archive can be configured to "delete" anything older than 7 years old.

We should actually not do a delete operation on the backend, but create a "trashcan" directory, and allow a user to explicitly permanently delete it.
