Th The Information lifecycle - St Stor orage Last week conversation with a client: Client: I have a very important presentation tomorrow and I cannot find my document. Me: Where was the file located? Client: On my laptop. Me: Where on your laptop? Client: Somewhere, I’m not sure. Me: Did you have a USB drive plugged in? Client: Oh…..yeah. I did. Me: Its probably on the USB drive. Therefore its not on your laptop. Go and find the drive.
