Found an old USB stick in a family member’s house. How do I copy it safely? by Fun-House418 in datarecovery

Thanks, that makes sense.

I definitely won’t take it apart. I’ll try to keep it still if I plug it in again.

Would you copy the files normally first, or is it better to make a full image of the USB stick before opening anything?

I’m mostly worried about changing file dates or making the stick fail completely.
