Yeah: Delete the data, and then don't ask for it to be recovered until 3 
months later. This isn't news; it's part of the design specification of 
the current backup rotation. (That is: the rotation is explicitly 
designed to recover data from up to 3 months ago. That is the design goal.)

Anyway, as it happens the procedure document is being rewritten as we 
speak. Unfortunately, it's being rewritten by Americans, so it's vague 
as hell. (The Americans like to make all their procedure documents as 
vague as possible so that they can change what they do without having to 
alter the document. Obviously, needing to alter the document is the 
entire *purpose* of having a document in writing...)
