File System Extraction

File system extraction collects files, databases, app containers, and system artifacts that are available through supported forensic methods.

It is often stronger than a basic logical export because it may include app databases, attachments, and structured system artifacts.

Avoid app updates, resets, or device repairs before extraction.
