Good read. Specially like the part where you compare the tech to the data recovery specialist and their different 'angle of attack'.
These instructions are extremely simple to follow and methodical. The author answered a lot of questions and addressed many common scenarios a tech may encounter. Well done.
Awesome info. Well written. Thanks!

Thanks.
Great Info .
