The retention page says VCC audio recordings are kept for the sooner of 30 days or a successful SFTP or FTP offload, or as the contract says. E911 call recordings are listed at 30 days. Agent data is 60 days. Campaign state is 120 days. Disabled domains are listed at 120 days after closure. DIDs and toll-free numbers are listed at 90 days after closure.

If you need a call from last quarter, the offload had to succeed. A failed SFTP job is a silent deletion clock. QM cannot score what is already gone.

Worked example

Name the clock

For one complaint you may need in 45 days, say where the file must be.

  1. Not only in VCC
  2. On the offload
  3. Checked for success

The plan does not say 'it will still be there'.

VCC audio, on the retention page, lasts
A failed SFTP job
E911 recordings on that page are
Agent data on that page is
QM next quarter

Troubleshooting. Offload has been failing since February. Restore the offload and tell legal the truth.

Cross-platform bridge. A mapping to another PBX or contact center is a teaching bridge. It is not an import button.

Future hook. The guide's cloud endpoint stays unset. Confirm before relying on a dated catalog or a case-study number.
