Selected Answer: A
When undertaking a data cleanup project to reduce backup storage, the first and most critical step is to consult retention schedules. This ensures that the organization complies with legal and regulatory requirements while efficiently managing storage resources. Once retention policies are established, other considerations like data classification, sanitization, and file size can be addressed to further optimize the cleanup process.

Ans. A. When determining which data should be deleted during a data cleanup project, the security administrator should consider Retention schedules first. Retention schedules specify how long different types of data must be retained based on legal, regulatory, or business requirements. By understanding these schedules, the administrator can identify data that is no longer required and safely delete it, thus reducing backup storage requirements while ensuring compliance with policies and regulations.
