<If the record can be obtained elsewhere (a courthouse, a federal or
state agency where it was sent as a report, etc.) after the event, then
it may be important, but it is not necessarily vital.>
<My question is............. How can you say that?
Imagine all the businesses in London right now that thought that they
had certain records "somewhere else" but now they don't? The Iron
Mountain fire cast thousands of businesses into Disaster Recovery.>
I was not referring to back-ups. I was referring to duplicate records
that exist in another business, branch, government office, etc. (routine
dispersal as defined in ANSI/ARMA 5). For example, deeds to property
also exist in the applicable government office of recording (such as a
County Clerk or County Recorder). Some businesses distribute copies of
certain records to other branches or subsidiaries.
