What is forensic data recovery?

First, Data Recovery and Computer Forensics are not the same thing.

 

  • One’s purpose is to recover data
  • The other’s is to recover evidence

 

Some of the processes overlap between the two functions but many do not.

 

Forensic data recovery is a combination of the two disciplines.

 

Forensic Data Recovery Defined:

“The forensic acquisition in full or in part of data stored on non-functioning storage media through the use of sophisticated equipment and techniques for the purpose of presenting the data in a legal forum.”

--Todd G. Shipley

 

The National Forensic Data Recovery Training Center provides the only digital forensic program, originally designed under a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, to address the forensic recovery of data from non-functioning hard disk drives.
