Physical Disk Analysis
While much of today’s data lives in the cloud or on mobile devices, many critical investigations still depend on older or legacy storage media. Backup tapes, floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs often contain valuable evidence that may not be accessible through standard IT tools. At Strategic Forensic Partners, we specialize in physical disk analysis, recovering data from both modern and outdated media to ensure that no piece of evidence is overlooked.
What We Handle
Backup Tape Analysis
Backup tapes often contain historical records of business operations, emails, databases, and system files. We can recover and restore this information, even from outdated formats, to provide a timeline of activity or verify whether data has been altered or deleted.
Floppy Disk Analysis
Though rarely used today, floppy disks were once a standard for personal and business data storage. Our forensic tools allow us to extract files from these disks, even when they appear corrupted or unreadable by modern systems.
CD Analysis
Compact Discs (CDs) may store documents, audio, video, or software installations. We perform forensic extraction to recover files, analyze usage patterns, and ensure that metadata is preserved for evidentiary purposes.
DVD Analysis
DVDs, often used for larger data sets, video storage, or backups, are another valuable source of evidence. Our team can extract content, recover deleted or hidden files, and present the information in a clear, defensible format..
