How long are emails stored on back-up servers?

edited January 2012 in Science & Tech
I was wondering if anyone knows how long deleted emails are retained on say Googles back-up servers or any other web-based email provider. Specifically what I need to know is how far back can records be obtained via subpeona?

  • Depends on how long the company decides to keep backups for. There is no standard answer to that question and the only way to find out would be to contact the company in question and ask them (assuming they release that information, which it is within their rights not to)
