    Are we proving physical medium integrity or content validity?
    Content can be on paper, punchcard, magnetic tape and some rare instances even
    in molecular memory units.

    "When copying a disk to another disk, a checksum of the destination disk
    will nearly always result in a different value than a checksum of the
    original disk, even when using the -IR switch. This difference is due to
    differences in disk geometry between the source and destination disks."

    The information above came from Symantec's knowledge base.  Has anyone
    found this to be a problem in Court?
