How to Recover Documents, Files and Photos

We might not be so lucky all the time. In most of the situations, we find ourselves losing important data and might not possess backups to help us out of the situation. This is when the data recovery software and experts come to our rescue.

Data Recovery Software

There are different types of files present on your computer. You might have lost your word document or a JPEG image. You need to understand that some of the software would be able to recover only specific types of files. Hence before purchasing a recovery software make sure it is compatible with the file system that you are trying to recover.

Following are some of the data recovery software available in the market today:

File Recover: It recovers files that have been deleted either from the recycle bin or erased by bypassing the recycle bin using shift-delete. Even though you have deleted the files, they are still resident on the computer hard drive. However, your OS is unable to locate them. The file recovery software helps to locate and reconstruct the lost file from the hard disk without the assistance of an operating system. It tries to recover files that might have been lost due to bad sectors and can be used on both NTFS as well as FAT file systems.

Advantages

This does not modify or write itself on the drive from which it is trying to retrieve the data. Hence, there is no fear of your data being overwritten by this software.

They provide a trial version of the software that can be downloaded free of cost. This helps to check if your lost files are still present on the media before purchasing the product. Once you make the payment, you would be able to retrieve these lost files.

Undelete Software: There are various undelete software available in the market that would helps you to recover the files lost on different types of storage media such as hard drive, digital camera cards, etc. The undelete software creates a bin to stores all the information that you delete from your computer. When you accidentally delete some important information, you could undelete the file from the bin created by the software.

Advantages

Undelete software provides speedy data recovery. All your files can be recovered within a few seconds.

Some of these undelete software also allows recovery of overwritten versions of Microsoft office files.

Go Back: “GoBack” is a software designed by Norton. As the name implies, this software could take your computer back to a particular point in time. So apart from helping to restore your data files, GoBack helps to return the computer to a healthy state if your OS had crashed due to virus or other software issues.

Advantages

You could recover a single file or all the data stored on your hard drive in a few mouse clicks

By helping the computer to go back to a point prior to OS crash, you can continue to work with the PC without having to go through the lengthy process of OS reinstallation.

Data Recovery Services

What happen if we do not have software such as GoBack installed on our computer and the hard drive crashes? While data recovery software can retrieve data lost due to simple OS issues, it is relatively difficult for them to recover files lost due to complex software issues. In case of a hard drive failure, it is almost impossible for software to recover the data.

This is where the expertise of a data recovery specialist comes in handy. In more than 80% of the cases, these experts would help to retrieve your precious data. These services might be a bit costlier. However, in a situation like the one that I had mentioned before, when the data could spell doom between the growth and fall of my career, I would not hesitate to spend a few extra bucks to have my data back. Wouldn’t you do the same?
