Charles, are you aware that a "fire safe" is only rated for paper? So if
you store tapes in a fire safe, and the place burned, you are likely to
lose your data! (because the tapes could melt!)

although I am not working at a law firm we are using 90 days and 3 days,
and
thats only on sent items, but i still take a full monthly image which is
not
overwritten. i would say you need to be really cautious with a law firm.
a
monthly permanent backup of your store onto a DDS tape or similar and
permanent offsite storage (or at least whack it into a fire safe)
coupled
with a 45 day age limit at least on your server. once a year has passed
you
could maybe consider destroying the oldest tapes.
 
unfortunately its the 6 month old email that is suddenly required in a
case
and i have been asked to recover something that old in the past.
