RenewData, a vendor of e-discovery and data migration services,  today launched a new service designed to help customers address liability issues associated with the content of backup tapes as well as limit the cost of storing backup tapes.

The RenewData Backup Tape Liability Management Service lets companies identify, de-duplicate and reduce the data stored on backup tapes. It lets customers evaluate the content of the tapes and delete and destroy them if they are not required for legal or regulatory management purposes.

The service is targeted at companies that are storing more than 10,000 backup tapes and those involved in litigation or in heavily regulated industries such as financial services.

The identification, de-duplication, reduction and consolidation of tapes helps customers identify their liability in keeping tapes. The service also can help customers abide by provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which require parties involved in litigation to provide a description of electronically stored information to other involved parties.

With the service, Renew Data will offer a secure facility for customers’ data and provide evidence of chain-of-custody procedures. RenewData experts also will testify in court regarding the processes and technologies used for storing backup tapes. The company also will retrieve data from out-dated media.
