Re: Backups?

Although less of a problem these days, does this apply to paper-based or microfiche records (e.g. as a backup or if there are records that old - like with life insurance or pensions?).

As to your point on life insurance etc. I suppose in this case you could argue that if you are still living then you are not about to ask your life insurance/pension provider to delete the information it has on you under GDPR anyway!
