All of its essential information has apparently been cached away somewhere in inaccessible data banks.

Only when retrieving inaccessible data should cost-shifting be considered.

Since backup tapes are a form of inaccessible data, the Court found it appropriate to consider cost-shifting for the recovery of e-mails from those tapes.
