Everyone stores some type of data electronically. This data can include personnel records, financial records, invoices, customer databases, emails, electronic media like audio files and motion picture files, and numerous other documents and information. Most of the time a computer is the primary means of storage for the data, but that data can also be stored on cellular phones, personal data assistants (PDA’s), digital cameras and personal data devices such as iPods. There are many devices that can store data electronically. In addition to the electronic devices that are used to store data, often times this data is stored on removable media like CD’s, DVD’s, thumb drives, and floppy diskettes. At times, electronically stored data can be lost, either by intentional or unintentional means. The data can be deleted, or it can become corrupt. The media that holds the electronic data often fails or becomes unstable.
