Also known as: filesystem acquisition

Last updated August 9, 2026

Definition

File system extraction collects a fuller set of live file-system contents than basic logical backups — including more app directories — when access and privileges allow.

Real-World Example

With root or jailbreak access (where lawful), examiners may pull broader app sandbox folders via file system extraction.
