It's a given that most computer users are going to face data loss. There can be several reasons. For instance, when a worker is tired from working long hours, accidental deletion often occurs. Miscommunication or misunderstanding leads to data loss. For example, one person might thing that the job has been finished and that the files could be trashed.
Data loss can occur from outside sources, such as viruses and malware. Often an operating system is corrupted by these intruders, rendering the computer and all of the data on it inaccessible. This type of corruption is called a logical failure. Most of the time these failures can be remedied with a software solution: a hard drive data recovery program.
The program scans the hard drive, looking for the missing data. Some will even have a way of recovering files when the computer won't boot into the operating system. This is usually accomplished with an emergency boot disk.
Even so, the recovery process must be done correctly or the situation could escalate. If installing the recovery program overwrites the inaccessible files, they could be damaged. This is the main reason that I recommend finding and installing a good, quality emergency data recovery program before loss happens.
If you lose data before installing a DIY recovery program, be sure to find a program that can run from a CD or DVD without installation. These programs don't overwrite any files already on the computer. Remember to recover your lost files to a different destination disk as well. External hard drives or secondary internal drives are excellent for this purpose.
If you have just a small number of files, a USB flash drive might suffice. The size of these drives has greatly increased since their first introduction. Drives of up to 16 MB are available and are relatively inexpensive.
If the drive is physically damaged, a data recovery expert may be your only option. Data recovery prices vary; however, there is more to consider than just price. Check out these items before contracting any data recovery lab:
• Will you be kept informed at every step of the recovery process?
• Do they perform the recovery in-house or ship it to another business?
• Are their recovery engineers available to answer your questions?
• Are they using current, state-of-the-art techniques and equipment?
• What are their security protocols and how do they keep your data safe while in their possession?
• What kind of guarantee do they offer?
• Do they give a free quote first and are honest with you about the chances for a successful recovery?
Only choose a data recovery company that has been proven honest and reliable. You value your data; they should too.
