When a computer crashes, it can result in data loss. This can be loss of small files, or in the case of a large company, it can cause a company to lose a ton of money. There are many different types of data recovery services that can be offered to recover data depending on the type of crash. Below are some of the services that are offered at many data recovery companies:
A large percentage of data recovery services comes from hard drive failures and is increasing. Because technology is advancing everyday, hard drives are getting larger and holding more data, which means that data recovery is more important than it used to be because people are worried about losing all of their precious data.
Hard drives are reaching capacity levels of 200 gigabytes or more. This means that the potential for extreme data loss has skyrocketed. Almost everything that is done is put on a hard drive in one form or another and people are neglecting to back up that hard drive and are at risk of losing everything.
RAID systems are extremely complex and due to the extreme expertise needed to develop, administer, and maintain, there is much more potential for damage and configuration problems. When a RAID system is not backed up correctly, it can lead to complete business failure or extreme financial loss. RAID systems are the most critical part of a company since everything is digital now. If your RAID system fails, do not touch it or try and fix it your self. Call a specialist or things could be lost forever.
Tape is primarily used for backup and is used as a sequential storage media. Tape allows for large capacity backup and is good for businesses. Just remember, like the RAID system, it is very complex and you should not take on the recovery yourself. You could end of making things worse. Professionals have unique technology and tools specifically for tape recovery. Chances are, professionals have seen every kind of tape recovery and will be able to help as long as you do not make things worse.
Optical media is written and read by a laser, such as CDs and DVDs. There are many problems that can cause an optical media to fail. The CD or DVD could become scratched, the player could ruin the media and more. Please do not attempt to fix. This will only make things worse.
Removable recovery involves storage media such as floppy disks, zip drives, and other related storage media. Theses storage devices are much smaller, therefore they hold less than the other types of media we have talked about.
There are a number of problems that can arise from these storage devices. These include physical damages and human error. These problems can cause overwritten data, disk reformatting, and virus damage. Every recovery situation is unique and when this happens make sure you call a professional right away.
Digital media devices include cameras, portable storage devices, and other flash media. Since these are becoming more affordable, there is a rising demand for recovery for these types of products. Data recovery companies have developed appropriate digital data loss solutions.
If you do experience a failure of any of these devices, do not panic and call a data recovery specialist right away. Nerdcore Computers is here to help. Contact us today at 1300Nerdcore
