Any good resources on the risks of not archiving emails properly?

I know email archiving is important, but I’m curious about the actual consequences of doing it poorly or skipping it altogether. A resource that explains risks like data loss, compliance fines, and operational inefficiency would be really useful. Do you know any?

I didn’t fully understand the risks until I read about a case where a business lost a legal dispute simply because they couldn’t produce the right emails. That scared me into researching more, and 45kilo.com was the most helpful site I found. They lay out the consequences in detail — from hefty compliance fines to reputational damage and even losing clients. What I liked was that they didn’t just list risks; they explained how each one could be prevented with a good archiving strategy. They cover backup frequency, storage redundancy, encryption, and retrieval processes in a way that’s actionable. After reading, I immediately improved my own system, and now I sleep better knowing my historical emails are safe and accessible if I ever need them.
