So, it is a complicated situation that you need to tread very carefully. This article will prepare you to deal with data loss without much stress and in an informed manner.

Data loss can happen to any device irrespective of the operating system or the application. The causes of data loss varies widely from that of human errors such as accidental deletion or formatting of drives and partitions, corruption of the file system, hard disk failure, hard ware errors and natural calamities.

Data loss due to any of the above reasons, except hard ware error can be recovered using data recovery software. In the case of natural calamities if there is no damage to the hard drive, then data can be recovered with the help of data recovery software.

Types of data recovery software

There are different types of data recovery software-products that can recover data from specific operating systems such as windows, Mac and Linux- products that can recover data from different file types and- from various data loss scenarios.

Data Recovery from Windows: To recover data from Windows operating system, you need to select a software that is capable of supporting data recovery from windows operating system (including operating system version). Other factor you need to consider is the file system used by the hard drive – FAT or NTFS. The third aspect is the type of data loss- for example, if the lost data include videos, photos and music, the product should be capable of recovering data from different file extensions such as AVI, MP4,MOV, MPEG, MPG (videos), BNP, PNG, JPG, JPEG, TIFF, GIFF (photos) and MP3, MP4, WOV, MIDI (music) using photo recovery.

Data Recovery from Mac: You need to select the product based on the operating system version, the type of Pc- intel or power PC, and the file system- HFSX or HFSX+ in your Mac machine. To recover photos the product should be capable of recovering files with extensions BMP, PNG, TIF, TIFF, JPEG, JPG, GIF, or PSD. If you are a professional photographer and use raw photos, the product should support recovery from file extensions (CR2, ORF, MRW, 3FR etc) depending on your camera. To recover videos, the product should support recovery from AVI, MP4, MOV, MPEG, MPG, M4V, 3G2, 3GP, RM and MP3, MP4, WAV, MIDI, M4B, M4A, AIFF, AIF, AIFC, RA, or AMR extensions to recover music files.

Data Recovery from Linux: To recover data from Linux operating system, you need to ensure the file system (Ext2 or Ext 3)from which the product can recover data and Linux distribution it supports such as Redhat Linux, Suse Linux, Mandriva Linux, Ubuntu Linux, Caldera Linux, Slackware Linux, Gentoo Linux, Kubuntu Linux or any other.

In addition to the operating system and the type of file, equally important is the capability of the product in recovering data from different data loss scenarios.

Data recovery software is available as freeware and shareware. Freeware, as the name indicates is free of cost and shareware is the purchase version.

Freeware for recovering data

You can download freeware from the internet for free. Some of the freeware are good and help you recover data efficiently. However, if the freeware you have selected is not efficient in recovering data, then it could lead to permanent loss of your data. So, if the data is very valuable and you do not want to risk data, then it is better not to select freeware. Freeware is mostly available for file recovery and may not support recovery of data from complicated scenarios.

Shareware for recovering data

There are various shareware for recovering data based on the operating systems, file type and to address various data loss scenarios. One of the best way to select a shareware is by evaluating the demo version before buying it. This will give you an idea about the efficiency of the software in recovering data. While evaluating you can see the files restored, but to save the recovered data you will need to buy the version. In addition to the efficiency of the software ensure that the product comes with good customer support either through telephone or live chat. Another aspect that you should consider is the payment processing channel used by the software publisher (eg regnow, Avangate).

The Necessity for Data Recovery Training

roger — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 00:34:17 +0000

With the increasing of data loss, people are commonly suffering from economic loss from this catastrophe. Data recovery is highly urgent and required for people in all walks of life. Due to the variety of data loss reason and the failure of hard drives, data recovery works vary and the charge for every data recovery is different. Even, logical data recovery and physical data distinguish a lot. As data recovery is more and more popular and lucrative presently, more people are beginning to expand their business or start their business in data recovery field. But, how to do data recovery data well and guarantee the customer’s data will be the question for everyone who is in data recovery and who wants to enter into data recovery. The solution for this is to take part in professional data recovery training and learn the expertise from one professional company.

As we all know, data loss can be caused by two reasons—logical problem and physical problem. Therefore, data recovery training can also be divided into two types: Logical data recovery and physical data recovery.

It’s a fact that these days more people are capable of recovering their data from drives with logical problem, such as, partition loss, MBR Damage, accidental deletion, virus attack or accidental format, etc. As these problems are very easy to handle, data recovery experts can easily fix this problem by downloading the free software online or using their home-made logical data recovery software. Even, users are well educated with information freely flowing over the internet as well as software which provides an easy point and click interface or even a good set of instructions, no need to send their drives to the data recovery service company. So, when we meet some companies advertise data recovery as a prime service, we must think about this and make a wise judge on whether they are providing logical data recovery or physical data recovery. Because most of the service they are advertise is recovering the data from logical failures. When it comes to the physical problem, such as hard drive clicking, bad sector, and drives cannot be detected, etc, and the logical data recovery tool cannot solve this problem, then some of the experts of customers will go to the next level and outsourcing. When outsourcing occurs the data is usually passed to a third party and the service provider must make sure that they can highly protect the customers’ data and ensure the data recovery successful rate. Then how to ensure the data recovery successful rate and protect customer’s data? The answer is to take part in the professional training.

Data recovery training courses instruct you on how to diagnose the defective drives and revive dead hard drives and extract data from drives that are in logical or physical problem. Data recovery training also instructs you on how to recover RAID arrays, flash drives, zip drives and exchange servers.
