Since last spring, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has been investigating reports that an estimated 5 million email messages from 473 days between 2003 and 2005 allegedly vanished from e-mail servers housed within the president's office.
White House has said it has since reduced the number of days' worth of missing e-mails from 473 to 202 after discovering that those messages had been filed "in the wrong digital drawer" as part of a switch from the Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange e-mail system in 2002. White House Chief Information Officer Theresa Payton assured the committee that her office is working actively on a multi-step restoration process.
When pressed by Davis, Payton also said she felt "very comfortable" that they would be able to reconstruct any remaining lost documents from "disaster recovery backup tapes," although she said that process would be time-consuming and could cost at least $15 million.

$15 Million? WTF? guess who pays for this? When are we going to put a stop to the madness!
