Logical Acquisition
Logical acquisition collects data exposed through an operating system, app, backup, or account interface rather than copying every physical storage block.
It is common for phones and cloud accounts where targeted data is needed quickly or physical acquisition is unavailable.
Do not delete apps, sign out of accounts, or change settings before collection.
