ESI is voluminous in nature. Computer systems do not physically move data around from location to location as paper information is moved; instead, they duplicate it on different media in different locations. As a result, ESI is seldom lost or erased because even when a user deletes information it is often renamed and stored elsewhere on the computer, making deleted ESI easy to recover. ESI can also include backup data, metadata and legacy data.
