Actually, there is a difference between credit and criminal background checks. The bad news is on criminal checks, charges, arrests, convictions, etc. NEVER fall off your records. The GOOD news is, most employers only check back seven years. It became standard to pull credit and criminal checks together and the 7 year credit limit was just easier to apply across the board.
However, if an employer wants to be very thorough, they can go back all the way to when you reached age of majority (usually 18). They have to pay more for this so many employers don't do it.
Felonies are tricky buggers once you have 'em.

Usually most state and local records will only go back 7 years. So it would stay on there at least 7 years. However, there have been cases where there was so little criminal history that the file on a person was not completely purged, and something they did 12 years prior showed up.
The best way to find out exactly what you want to know is to call the agency that will file the report. Or you can simply ask your local PD, or Sheriff's office.

It depends on the background check. Your felony conviction will always be public record. What matters is how far back the people looking into your background decide to go.

Depends:
1 - Adult - never,
2 - Juvenile - only if you have it expunged, or
3 - If the system is screwed up and it gets lost in the shuffle.
Beware of #3, however, as the system can get un-screwed up and one may get caught out when purchasing a firearm, applying for a security clearance, etc.
Talk to a criminal defense lawyer for rational (and accurate!) advice for the particular situation in which you're interested.

I don't think they ever do, once they get in the FBI system they stay there.
