Data loss is something very critical and could occur any point of time. Data and information is the most important assets for any organization and it is required for proper functioning of the business. When data loss occurs, grave situations might take place and you need to go for Data Recovery solutions to retrieve lost data. It is the process of salvaging lost, missing or inaccessible data from a damaged, corrupted or unusable storage media that can not be accessed normally.

Data loss could occur from any sort of storage media and could be recovered from all of them including hard drive, storage tape, RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks), SAN (Storage Area Network), NAS (Network Attached Storage), CD and DVD. The recovery is generally required when any storage media gets damaged either physically or its file system face logical damage or corruption.

The restoration or recovery results into proper accumulation of files by the operating system. Before the recovery process becomes difficult, you are recommended to create a valid backup of your mission critical data. The backup enables you to appreciate the concept of recovery.

Failures that require recovery:

  • Hard drive physical failure: Such type of failure and data loss situations occur due to damage to the internal components of hard drive. This kind of damage is quite difficult to handle and require advanced tools to be resolved.

  • Hard drive logical failure: This type of failure occurs when the disk data structures like file system, partition table, boot record, boot loader and many alike. These cases are quite easy to be fixed as compared to physical failure.
