Preserve data indefinitely by placing it on hold

A retention hold is a collection of retention sets that are preserved regardless of their expiration dates. When a retention set is subject to a retention hold, the data is not subject to expiration according to normal expiration processing and cannot be deleted. The data can be deleted only when the retention set is released from all retention holds to which it has been added and the retention set itself expires.

With new features in the Operations Center and new administrative commands, you can define retention holds and add one or more retention sets to the hold. You can also manage and track all actions taken on the hold.
