Pro tip: I thought finding a single email from 2018 for a discovery request would take an afternoon, but our IT guy and I spent three full days digging through old servers before we found it in a backup folder labeled 'misc temp'.

Has anyone else had a simple document hunt turn into a multi-day archeological dig through your own company's digital junk drawer?

Always check the temp folders first.

Three DAYS for one email is absolutely wild. That "misc temp" folder is a digital crime scene. I would have lost my entire mind by hour two.
