Synopsis: Under the FRCP
requirements the e-discovery of electronically
stored information contained within backup tapes is
generally considered very
burdensome because of the relatively high costs associated
with accessing the contents.
However,
the inaccessibility of
backup tapes was never
set in stone, and recent
advances in technology
promise to drastically
alter how courts view
the accessibility of backup tapes.This report examines technological advances
that stand to fundamentally
undermine the tape
discovery burden argument. |
