Warrants for email and backup tapes

Our ISP was just served a warrant (out of California) demanding our dialup logs and email backup tapes. So far, the warrant is probably invalid, as it mis-named the company. And as far as we can tell, we are not being charged with anything -- or at least we have not been told so. We only have our usual contracts attorney, and he seems a bit out of his depth. This is pretty invasive to our customers. We'll have a dickens of a time complying, as we don't back up client email, except at odd intervals backing up entire systems. And we only keep dialing logs around for a few months at a time, since we don't use them for billing. Is anyone else having this experience? If so, what have you done?
