There will be a session at the AIIM Show in Philadelphia next month (May 17th) that will discuss litigation and backup tapes. I caution you that mistakes are often made, even with legal counsel, in regards to the issues surrounding tape backups, and Bill Roach is right, your tape supplier will at least be in contention for Salesperson of the Year.
