The storage medium will be sent to the computer forensics specialist via the investigating officer, rather than the owner of the data - as this is normally the individual being investigated. Although the methods used for the retrieving lost data are very similar in both professions, the data recovery expert is ultimately not interested in the content of the data saved, while the forensic scientist is. This is because the computer forensics specialist must conduct a structured investigation, documenting evidence that enables the court to determine what has happened to the IT system - and who is responsible for it. For example, an IT forensics report might include information on the identity or identification of the offender, the period and extent of the crime and information on the motivation and execution of the crime.
