(34,076 posts)It starts with what has been described, but it doesn't' end there.
Once you do the first sort, you review (human review) a representative sample of what has been retrieved (both on the government and the personal side). If, in that sample, you find mis-sorted items you refine the filters and resort. Repeat until you are not finding mis-sorted items in your representative samples.
THEN - you still preserve the entire server. You do not delete records which contain potentially relevant information until it is clear that there is no more need to potentially review the correspondence because something which is expected to be there isn't.
I agree, the sorting needed to be done electronically - but not with a single sort, and not destroying the ones designated personal after that single sort.
