A.Hi client,

Yes, the above mentioned things are considered as the secondary evidences. There are many cases where the said documents are being used as evidences. However the device from where these evidences are generated should not be tempered and at times certification of such devices are required.
The burden of proof for opposing such evidences lies within the other side.

Thanks and Regards
Simi Paul
