# Drive recovery intake and result record

Save this record privately. Complete known facts without reconnecting or altering the source merely to fill a field. For possible evidence, follow the authorized response lead. Keep passwords and encryption keys elsewhere.

How to use: Enter details after each colon and fill in any tables. Check a field
once its details are recorded, including any explicit unknown or not-applicable
status. Tick checklist statements only when confirmed. In Obsidian, use Reading
view to click checkboxes and Editing view to enter details.
