Andrea believes one of her employees, a sound technician, has been stealing intellectual property from the company. She thinks he is copying original music scores and then selling them to upstart musicians, claiming that he wrote them.

Selecting the best tool for recovery of data will provide the needed assistance to retrieve the
Macintosh computer.
