T 3.12 Loss of data media during transfer

If data media are dispatched without robust packaging (mailing envelopes etc.) damage to the packaging might lead to loss of this data media (particularly floppy disks). The loss could also occur during the mailing process, e.g. due to negligence on the part of the postman. If, for example, a floppy disk is dispatched together with a letter inside an envelope which is considerably larger, the floppy disk might be overlooked and disposed of inadvertently by the recipient of the envelope.
