for cloud.gov planning - are y'all going to export your databases somewhere in case they're needed, or are you relying on AWS backups or ...?

[hartsick]

@bengerman13 my assumption is that if we never go live we will have no data in our databases that we want to keep, so would just delete the data outright. @porta-antiporta does that sound right to you? obviously this changes if we still have to go live.

[bengerman13]

We were live briefly on Monday, so I think we have data we need to treat as real? Also not sure if we need to keep the databases for compliance (record-keeping or security)

[LindsayYoung]

We can delete the data because we don't need it. In our PIA, it says, "Retention is temporary. GSA will destroy 1 year after resolved, or when no longer needed for business use, whichever is appropriate."
