What is Data Recovery? [Back to Top]

Data recovery is self-explanatory as it refers to getting lost information back from electronic media. Lost information may include:

• Email
• Applications
• User Files
• Logs and Records

Knowing the hardware architecture along with how a particular system manages data is crucial to recovering data. Not all data is recoverable, but our data recovery specialists often restore a surprisingly high percentage of data.

Why is Data Recovery needed? [Back to Top]

Data recovery services become necessary when the financial loss incurred by not having the information is more expensive than the cost of getting it back. Unlike private individuals, businesses are more likely to seek these services because of that cost. Typical circumstances leading to the need of data recovery services include:

• Corrupted Operating System/Files
  • Some operating systems become vulerable if not kept current with updates
  • Other times you never know why or how it happens, it just does

• Lost Data
  • "I don't know what happened to it"
  • Illmanaged system setups
  • Nonstandard file structures

• Virus Damage
  • Includes worms and trojans
  • Can render certain information or applications inaccessable
  • Spread typically through Email or the Internet

• Malicious Attacks
  • External attacks (hackers) may compromise data
  • Authorized users may delete information intentionally

• Unintentional Deletion
  • User error

• Damaged Media
  • Fire
  • Flood
  • Impact
  • Mechanical Failure
  • Physical abuse
