Feasibility of the Implementation of Right to be Forgotten in the Indian Data Backup Standards in the Context of DAPA.

Abstract

Irrefutably, India's Digital Data Protection Act has brought an evolution in the realm of digital data protection, ensuring the removal of irrelevant personal data. A data protection board has been set up to process the mechanism. A lot of criticism has come up since its enforcement. Amongst all the most underrated one is the absurdity of implementing the right to be forgotten in the context of Indian data backup standards. The backup data are retrieved once data are destroyed or lost. In the concerned paper author will dive into the Indian digital data removal requirement and its alignment with modern data backup standards.  Further, the author will strive to explore the implications of the backup standards, data retention policies, backup mediums, search services, and ERP systems. Through this research researcher will strive to find a solution for implementing the right to be forgotten in the purview of data backup standards.
