The following are unacceptable ways to retain document information after a court issues a legal hold?
- A.
Converting documents into PDF format
- B.
Printing out document for safe filing and deleting file
- C.
Both
Correct Answer
C. BothExplanation
Both converting documents into PDF format and printing out documents for safe filing and deleting the file are unacceptable ways to retain document information after a court issues a legal hold. Converting documents into PDF format does not ensure that the original document is preserved in its original format and may result in the loss of important metadata. Printing out documents and deleting the file does not guarantee that the information will be properly preserved and may lead to the loss of electronic evidence. Therefore, both options are not suitable for retaining document information after a legal hold.Rate this question:
