Location history in RMS dates back to how many months?

• A. 3 months
• B. 6 months
• C. 12 months
• D. 24 months

Answer: (B)

Understanding how long location history is readily available in the RMS helps you know what you can rely on when reconstructing recent movements. The system is designed to keep location history accessible for about half a year. This keeps the data you need for most investigations quickly retrievable while avoiding the heavy storage and slower performance that would come with keeping everything forever. Data older than that is archived or removed from active search and retrieval, though it can still be recovered from backups if a longer view is needed. This setup balances usefulness with resource management, privacy, and data governance. If a longer look-back is necessary, archival processes or approved access to older records are used, depending on policy.
