From the video description

Forensic data acquisition aims to create a reliable working copy while preserving and documenting the original source. Part 3 of this digital-forensics course compares logical and physical acquisition and explains the controls that support evidence integrity.

You’ll learn: • Planning an authorised acquisition • Chain-of-custody documentation • Logical versus physical extraction • Write protection and forensic imaging • Hash verification and secure storage • Preliminary artifact review • Recording tools, versions, time and operator actions

Procedures depend on the device, jurisdiction and investigation. Use approved tools and organisational or legal guidance.
