Modern technology allows each of us to carry a treasure trove of photos, music, documents, and important files in our pockets. Unfortunately, this means that a failed hard drive or a moment’s clumsiness with your Apple® device can wipe out your entire library of books, pictures, and text conversations. Fortunately, a data recovery professional can often retrieve your vital information even if it needs to be replaced. Here’s what you need to know. 

What Is Data Recovery?

Data recovery is a set of sophisticated technologies that allow a skilled technician to recover lost files. Even if the hard drive is no longer working, the files stored can often be accessed and moved to another medium.

For instance, the hard drive on your Apple device may be badly corrupted, but the files themselves may be intact. Data recovery techniques can even be used to restore files that were accidentally deleted, even if the OS considers the deletion permanent. These techniques can be used on almost all electronic devices, from cell phones and tablets to external hard drives and laptops.

How Does It Work?

Amazingly, a skilled technician can recover files from a storage device that’s been almost completely destroyed. If the problem is software-related, recovery might be accomplished by simply copying the contents of the device to another hard drive. Depending on the circumstances, the technician might use specialized software to repair the OS, making all the files accessible.

Recovering files lost to accidental deletion can be more complex but is still possible with the right software. This is because a deleted file stays on the hard drive until it’s overwritten by new information. To recover these files, technicians use powerful software that scans the structure of file tables, looking for deleted information. With a lot of expertise and a little luck, they can restore photos, videos, and other files that might have been lost forever.
