In legal circles, spoliation means intentionally destroying or altering data in a way that destroys its value as evidence. This could mean editing time stamps, deleting email, editing files or deleting files. Basically, this could mean anything that can contaminate evidence. It’s often difficult to prove spoliation because of the word intent. For example, if you are using Retrospect to move data and it gets lost in a move then you may destroy the value of data, but if you can prove that you did the move of data every night and why a failure occured, then you are probably in the clear… Stick with me, ’cause there’s a point here.…
