What is the difference between logical and physical imaging?

• Logical imaging focuses on the file structure and data organization, while physical imaging captures the entire storage medium, including all data and deleted files.

• Logical imaging captures the entire storage medium, while physical imaging focuses on file structure.

• Physical imaging only retrieves deleted files, whereas logical imaging captures all data.

• Logical imaging is faster than physical imaging because it skips deleted files.
