Backup all your data to an external hard drive or to disc. You should be all set.

Just because you erase a hard drive doesn't necessarily mean information is destroyed.

Otherwise this ^. Either way, knowingly erasing a hard drive knowing it has something the courts want is a great way to get an additional fine.
