An attorney asks...

I've heard the terms REFORMATTING, DEFRAGMENTING, & SHREDDING used in connection with spoliation of electronic evidence...WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Attorneys and judges are quickly realizing the importance of understanding basic technological terms and processes. Recognizing the differences between reformatting, defragmenting, and shredding/wiping a hard drive and what information is recoverable after one of these processes is run is essential to the practice of law. It may be important to note that in some cases, even if data is rendered unrecoverable the fact that this technology was used at some point in time may provide evidence of spoliation.
