Law firms maintain sensitive client files and must maintain a strong strategy for disaster recovery. Case files can not simply be shredded or purged at the end of the trial since it could be considered destruction of evidence in case of future litigation. Federal discovery and retention laws are stricter than a decade ago and keeping a backup of all case documents can prove crucial.

- archiving can start with a backlog of older case files (several years worth of charts) and continue in a recurring fashion (monthly, yearly, etc) as files become ready for archiving

- besides legal compliance, digitized (scanned) files serve as backup in case of fire, flood or burglary

- quick computer access to alphabetically ordered case files (images) is a great time saver when archives file review is necessary

- tens of thousands of files can be stored on one flash drive or external hard disk
