Have you just lost some vital data, some work you have spent hours on or some photo’s you forgot you had on your camera? Have you accidentally deleted some critical information from your computer? Alternatively, have you experienced unfortunate, un-avoidable mechanical failure of your memory storage equipment? If so, consider using the expert services of a professional data recovery company to assist you in lost data retrieval.

Data recovery companies have the technical resources, software and skills to effectively retrieve your important lost data. Most professionals can deliver a more than 90% success rate. This means that if you have decided your lost data is vital or critical information, which needs to be retrieved, there is a good chance that a data recovery company can rectify your disaster situation.

The data recovery tactics implemented by these companies are usually to use modern and advanced data recovery software. In addition, because many of these companies will offer other related media and computer services, they can offer data recovery services by using the most reliable and cutting-edge data recovery tools and software.

Now, people can buy their own data recovery software to perform a series of “at home” data recovery techniques, however, it is advisable that you know what you are doing, and use good reputable software brands. This means that if you are unsure, and do not successfully retrieve your lost data, while using these softwares that the lost data may be over-written and rendered un-retrievable, even by expert data recovery services.

There is also free or very inexpensive data recovery software available to consumers. However, these are hard to find and we advise that if the lost data is important to you personally, or for your business, you should not take the chance of using this free or cheap software. Be careful if you choose to use the cheap software, that the installation of this software onto your system does not overwrite your lost documents, making the retrieval process harder, and possibly rendering your lost data un-retrievable.

It can be said that over 99% of all home recoveries are failures. So, if you think your lost data is important enough to pay for data recovery services, choose the safer route, get a professional company to retrieve your lost data. It is important for computer and media users to note that data recovery companies have more luck retrieving lost data on modern equipment when the user has not tried to recover the lost data themselves. If data loss happens to you, the best advice you can get is to stop what you are doing, take note of what you did, and call in the professionals to assist.

Lost Data: What Do You Do When It Happens To You

By David Wegener

Most if not all forms of storage is susceptible to becoming damaged or corrupt. When your hard disk drives, CDs, DVDs or RAID arrays fail it is time to attempt recover your lost data. Data recovery describes the techniques implemented by IT professionals to salvage data that has been lost. Not only does it apply to drives that are physically or logically corrupt, data recovery is also used as a term to describe the process of retrieving and securing deleted information.
Police departments and government agencies often uses these sorts of techniques for forensics purposes.

Usually the need for data recovery is because it has been accidentally deleted from the system. If this is the case, then normally most of the data can be recovered. But when data is lost due to physically damage or from malicious software, such as a virus, the chances of recovering your lost data goes down significantly. For simple data recovery, like for an accidentally deleted file, you can do-it-yourself by purchasing “Undelete” software. For physical damage, like what occurs when a computer is submerged in a flooded basement, it is best to contact a specialist to assist you.

If you decided to attempt to recover your data yourself on a physically damaged or corrupt drive you will need to keep a couple of things in mind. Do not allow your system to start up or run from the damaged drive. Instead, create a boot disk, boot from a USB stick drive, or use another hard drive to run the system from. Do not run the data recovery software from the drive needing repair. Again, try to run the software from some other source like a USB memory stick. Now a days, many operating systems come with a set of data recovery tools packaged with their installation programs. This can help make the job of recovering your lost data much easier.
To find these tools, simply find your installation disks for your operating system and put the first disk in the computer. It should guide you from there.

When faced with the possibility of lost data don't panic. There is always a chance that your important document, photos, and music files can be saved. And, when in doubt consult a professional.
