What is the difference between data recovery and computer forensics?
Data recovery is the process of recovering files from certain types of media such as hard drives, CD/DVD’s, or USB flash drives that are damaged or corrupted. Computer forensics is the science of identifying, extracting, and analyzing digital media such as hard drives, CD/DVD’s, USB thumb drives, etc. The gathering of digital evidence requires the knowledge and attention of a certified forensic specialist to ensure that evidence is extracted in a scientific manner that can be admissible in legal proceedings.
