The labs can deliver files in a variety of formats and specifications, and in a variety of ways, based on service request requirements. Specific patron needs should be identified in the JIRA ticket. Unless otherwise specified, deliverables will be placed on a local server for retrieval.

* Digital Preservation requests have two recovery options: a forensic capture of the media (possibly including deleted files) and a logical capture that only contains files that have not been deleted from the filesystem. In either recovery option, the client will be provided with a raw disk image (.dd), a spreadsheet listing the contents of the media (.csv), a text file documenting the capture process, and the files contained on the media.
