For businesses as well as for personal use computers, a hard drive crash is always a problem. Not only is there the loss of data, but there is often a lot of uncertainty about the cost of data recovery and if it is worth it.
The best option to prevent the need for hard drive recovery is always to have your important files backed up. This could include cloud-based storage of backed up files, external hard drives, RAID arrays or other types of options. Keep in mind that backing up a hard drive with another hard drive doesn’t eliminate the fact that the backup will fail at some point in time as well.
There are software programs that can be used as a do-it-yourself option for data recovery. However, these only work if the hard drive itself is still working and it is a corrupted section of the drive that is a software issue. To make things more challenging, hard drives on other devices, such as digital cameras or other devices, may not be read by the computer if they aren’t functioning correctly, which makes the software ineffective.
Step 1
The first step in any hard drive recovery plan will be to remove the hard drive, if applicable, and find a company that can complete the recovery process. Phone around and look for national companies with local offices that will reduce the shipping time and help you to access your data quickly.
Step 2
One the company providing the hard drive recovery services receives your drive it will be evaluated. This is typically done in a business day or in 24 hours, providing you with information on the disk failure as well as the cost of recovery.
With your approval to proceed, the company will then use state-of-the-art technology to recover the data. The results will be sent to you for final verification, and then the actual copy of the recovered data will be returned to you by your preferred method. In most cases, the entire process will take just days, but some companies offer emergency services as well.
