I'm using the foremost,photorec and other tools for recovering data.

What is the best way for cloning the USD or HDD for recovery files?

  • Which one should I use dd or cat or ddrescue?
  • If you recommended to use dd, then how should I use it for carving?
  • Try recovery files of image cloned, is equivalent to try recovery directly to the device?

Used correctly, dd can copy every byte on a volume. Contrariwise, cat will only copy the contents of files. Obviously, dd is the better choice when data not included in files is of importance.
