Data Recovery Options for When Systems Fail

Every year, tens of thousands of people call a data recovery service when they have suffered a major systems failure.    While this is the major reason for substantial or complete data loss from a database, it is by no means the only reason for it. Less dramatic reasons may include recovery of accidently deleted and over written files and corrupted file systems, which leave the data unreadable.

Depending on the reason for the loss of data, the data can be recovered by specialized data retrieval software.  In some cases the retrieval can be undertaken by the computer owner using the software, if this is not possible a specialist retrieval company may need to provide professional assistance.

Serious Data Loss is Recoverable even if Your Computers are Remote to a Recovery Service

Downloadable software is available for simple data recovery. For more complicated recovery, most service providers will have suitable software for purchase, which will enable you to restore your own systems and databases with relative ease.  If this is not possible then you may require the assistance of the provider’s customer service team.

Hard drive data recovery is possible even if the system has failed in a location that is remote from a recovery service.  Using a remote modem connection,   secure connection and recovery is possible, reducing the number of hours and therefore potential financial loss of being unable to access your vital databases.  

If you area able to organize transport of your computer to a recovery service provider you can have it serviced usually within 3-5 days.   Taking it directly to the service provider may of course provide a faster service.

Whether you require specialist assistance or can restore your own date with the software provided, it is somewhat reassuring to know that should a serious system problem need not mean you have lost your data and therefore your valuable and potentially irreplaceable work. 

Discuss your Data Recovery Options with a Data Recovery Specialist

Discussing your options for both data storage and data recovery with a specialist will provide you with the peace of mind you need to provide support for your IT Department.   Most of the time hard drive data recovery is achievable and in the rare instance it is not, if you have discussed backup and storage and restoration options previously, the situation will not cause an extremely costly impact on business.
