Anyone know of any software that can be used to pull data from MS Sharepoint while keeping the data forensically sound AND doesn't change the last modified date on the webpage?
I have used Safecopy2 that allows me to take the information from Sharepoint with keeping the metadata intact. However when you look at the web base front end it says I was last to modify the document.
After comparing hash of files it showed that data was not modified.
Any help would be appreciated!!
All the sharepoint data is stored in a SQL backend. I would think you would be better off attacking the SQL data as you can then control all the writes. I am no SQL expert but you would need full read access to all the databases then you could start pulling everything out.

Ontrack has a tool for it, but its in its early stages. Still needs some work in my mind, but I'm actively looking into this area and out R&D group is working on a tool in-house.
Microforensics has a tool called Titan Collector for SharePoint that will do exactly what you need. Follow this link to the web site http//
Of course do your testing.
From the web site
Titan for SharePoint supports the forensic collection of Microsoft SharePoint information, providing a fast and defensible means of collecting a MS SharePoint site while maintaining the exact look-and-feel as it existed at the time of collection. Titan does not impact the SharePoint working environment while collecting.
Titan collects the document libraries and maintains them as native copies, collects all metadata fields including custom and system metadata, and captures an exact MHTML representation of the page. This approach ensures an exact replica of the site can be maintained, reviewed and produced – ensuring the collection matches the original.
