The backup software is able to look for and retrieve trashed email and even deleted email attachments. In Australia, for instance, there was a celebrated legal case in 2006 regarding the deletion of important emails. The case ran because a company could not find evidences regarding the misdemeanours and inappropriate conduct of executives. Evidence was in emails but the problem was that those mails were already deleted. If the company only invested in a disk data recovery program, there would not be any problem.

Aside from that, the backup software should also be able to retrieve all lost data from computer crashes, virus attacks and other security problems.
