Requests for archived information can range from internal documents, to a singleemail or even entire company backups. It is important to know exactly where thisinformation is held and how to get to it explained Alastair Molyneux, BusinessDevelopment Manager, Kroll Ontrack UK. Data is increasingly being stored inelectronic format and we have seen an exponential increase in recovery requests inthe last 20 years. Companies need to ensure that their houses are in order andeverything is backed up properly.

Some organisations have electronic data dating back decades and the chances of itbeing damaged or rendered inaccessible over time are fairly high. Retrieving datathat is damaged or inaccessible can be costly and may require special equipment. Bymaintaining up-to-date records and data on modern media formats, extraction can bequick and painless.

It is important for a company to look at its past as well as its future.
