Data Recovery

Data Recovery (125)

b2ap3_thumbnail_iStock_000002116731XSmall.jpgIn many ways data backup is one of the most important elements in critical systems’ design. If maintained properly, they represent the last protection line in case of any disaster. Even if an entire house or city has been erased from the face of the earth, your business can be recovered in another place and on other computers, using created according to all rules and extremely secure tapes containing backup information. But there are several conditions which you need to fulfil to make data recovery process successful.

b2ap3_thumbnail_iStock_000014578483XSmall.jpgModern photo cameras use memory cards to keep taken photos. These are primarily SD cards used in the majority of digital and reflex camera models.

Compact Flash is often used in professional cameras. xD cards are used slightly less (Olympus and Fujifilm).

Causes of memory card data loss:

Software: accidentally deleted data, memory overrun, accidental formatting, virus attack.

Hardware: numerous dead memory cells on memory chip, controller failure.

Mechanical: in contrast to computer flash drives it is very difficult to recover memory card after mechanical impact, sometimes even impossible. Soft spot in flash drive is USB port that can be repaired and in case of memory card its printed circuit board is damaged upon mechanical impact. In this case its conductor strips break resulting in contact loss with memory chips.

b2ap3_thumbnail_iStock_000016701311XSmall.jpgWhen using practically any data recovery program you may face different difficulties. This is what we are going to explore in this article.

Symptom No 1. System stops responding and it looks like data recovery program has frozen.

If no error messages are displayed it could mean that data recovery program is still running. It may require several hours to complete disk analysis. Be patient and give the program a chance to work full day to complete the full data recovery cycle.

Data recovery programs usually perform data analysis in the main memory and then send the results to extended memory or to disk's page file. In case of considerable data damage or huge number of small files, main and extended memory (and even disk space) may not be enough. There are several ways of overcoming this problem (depending on capabilities of specific software).

b2ap3_thumbnail_iStock_000006762742XSmall.jpgOne of the most common problems in modern computers is partial or complete hard drive failure. There are many factors that may cause hard drive failure, for example, hard drive is clicking, operating system doesn’t boot or user cannot see one of the logical partitions. Any of such factors is the cause of contacting specialists knowing how to recover hard drive.

It is important to understand that physical repair of hard drive and hard drive recovery are two completely different things. Repair is being done to bring broken device to normal working condition but at the same time full data base could be lost, and hard drive recovery includes recovery of information stored on the device and at the same time hard drive’s operability after such works is not guaranteed.

Chinese manufacturers are on fire. This one looks like an ordinary external hard disk drive brought to me by an ordinary person for repair. The client complained that despite the capacity written on disk is 500 GB and large files can be written to it without any problems (at least the system shows that everything has been written), you can read only the last 128 MB of the file. By the way, the device was purchased in China. So, when service experts opened the hard drive they were 1) astonished 2) surprised 3) amazed 4) laughed for an hour 5) couldn’t believe their eyes. And all that because they saw… they saw… a simple 128 MB USB drive. Chinese, so Chinese.

A serious decline is expected on the worldwide hard disk drive market this year.

b2ap3_thumbnail_iStock_000000844306XSmall.jpgAccording to the data storage system analyst of research company IHS Fang Zhang, the volume of worldwide hard disk drive market will shrink by 11,8% in 2013 as compared to 2012 indicators. Expert argues that it is because 2013 will see more tablets manufactured than laptops – 240 million versus 207 million.

Every computernik has at least once experienced a crash of hard disk drive containing valuable information.

b2ap3_thumbnail_iStock_000001576389XSmall.jpgThe first case of hard disk drive crash happened to me when my boss decided to play some games on a computer during defragmentation. Of course this computer contained thousands of important company files. It was long ago and computer had Windows 95, which crashed immediately after he started playing. Upon every reboot it displayed defragmentation window without any visible signs of progress. All information became mess, all documents – unreadable and those that I managed to open contained some unreadable stuff. Result-less efforts to recover information lasted two days and manual recovery of documents (typing from the printed documents) took much more time.

b2ap3_thumbnail_iStock_000011913700XSmall.jpgExternal hard drives have become very popular and not only as a backup storage, but also as a device for carrying information. Accordingly, where there is demand, there is supply. This segment has a number of various companies and various models. This vast choice can easily confuse anyone. Carefully read this article before buying to avoid extra troubles and enjoy your purchase. So, hereunder you will find a description of how to choose an external hard drive.

b2ap3_thumbnail_defrag-icon.pngDid you know that average computer works approximately 2 times slower that it really can? The thing is not in a computer itself but in intelligent approach to system optimization. Although not many users know what can be done to make their iron friend work a bit faster.
If you know, the computer consists of multiple interconnected parts (devices). All the parts have to be selected carefully, but its not the topic of the article. Computer works as fast as slow works the slowest device in it.
Imagine a bottle :) filled with water. Water leaks from the bottleneck. As soon water can leak through this hole as soon it will leak out from bottle. Computer can be compared with a bottle, and bottleneck with the slowest device.
Guess, what is the slowest in computer?
