The FBI has taken possession of the personal e-mail server used by Hillary Clinton during her tenure as secretary of state, according to a published report.
Barbara Wells, an attorney for Denver-based computer services firm Platte River Networks, told The Washington Post that federal agents picked up the server from a private data center in New Jersey Wednesday afternoon. The attorney told the paper that the server "was blank" and no longer contained useful information.

"The information had been migrated over to a different server for purposes of transition," Wells told the paper. "To my knowledge the data on the old server is not available now on any servers or devices in Platte River Network’s control." Wells added that the company had cooperated with the FBI and had been told it was not a target of the investigation.
The Justice Department is looking into whether classified information was improperly stored on or passed through the server, which Clinton used for all her correspondence during her time as secretary of state.

My guess is they moved the server data to another server that was not accessible online. That way they could start using the online server for other purposes. Might have just been rented. They still have the server data. They were just storing somewhere before archiving it in case customer wanted data back. The reason the reporter obfuscated the wording was so people would think data is gone.
If any classified e-mail went through that server, it is a crime, and it is a crime to have erased the evidence.
Where are the server backups?
