COT performs a backup of the enterprise e-mail database each night and retains those backup tapes for ten days. At the end of the 10-day cycle the tapes are reused, overwriting the data stored on them, beginning with the first tape. After the data has been overwritten it is impossible to recover it, and it is permanently gone.
