Dave:
You've gotten some good general and specific advice. A couple employers back, we needed to keep documentation (imaged documents, supporting data, etc.) for 50 years _after_ the death of the individual being recorded. Seven years doesn't seem outrageous to me in that respect. However...
Have you considered DVD burners? John Earl mentioned saving receivers with the *FREE option. That keeps a record of receivers on your system. But keeping receivers available is a different problem.
Consider saving receivers to savefiles and sending copies to the IFS. You could use QNTC or NFS (or FTP or...?) to route them to a Windows or Linux server that can (relatively) cheaply burn them to media that's fairly durable and secure, even tape. Once in a savefile, you can do just about anything you need to do to have multiple copies on inexpensive media.
