It is important for appraisers to realize that natural disasters and hard drive crashes can cause electronic work files to get lost. It is, therefore, important to have a backup or offsite storage strategy for work files.

Just to clarify, in your example wouldn’t 2-years after disposition mean that if you defended in court in 2008 that do not need to keep it beyond 2010?
