When do you need data recovery help? There are going to be those times when you just delete the wrong file or lose your data when your computer somehow loses power. But, what about the event of hard drive failure?

Here’s how it always happens. You decide that you want to clean up your computer. You start purging your documents and files. It feels really good to get the desktop, my documents, and other places all neat and tidy. Then you notice that they’re all being put in the recycle bin. Time to make that neat and tidy. And as soon as you empty the recycle bin, a sinking feeling sets in. You navigate frantically to the folder where today’s report resided. Your boss is going to kill you. You needed that for the 11 a.m. meeting, and now you accidentally deleted it. Well, I have some good news. You may be able to get that document back. Allow me to explain.

The personal data on your hard drive, including photos and videos is without a doubt the most important and valuable thing inside your computer, and is the only part of your computer which can not be replaced.

This article is Part 1 in a series created to explain backing up to novices. We’ll be talking about what backing up is, why we should do it, and why most of us don’t.

If you are like most other computer users, you have probably some time accidently deleted some of the important data or documents from your computer. The good news if that there is data recovery software out there that is capable to recover the data you have lost, there is no reason to despair.

Some files are missing? Can’t find your summer photos or favorite music deleted by mistake? Or trying to find something after another user accessed your computer? Now you can restore all the files with a new powerful tool for free – Smart Data Recovery!

Here is the scenario. You manage a small office of 100 employees. And business is booming. You are writing sales contracts like they are shopping lists. It’s just going really well. And then life happens. Suddenly everyone loses connection to the server. “Don’t Panic,” you keep telling yourself. You calmly walk back to your makeshift server room. You notice that there are red lights on the front of the server. That doesn’t reassure you. You power down the server and restart. You still can’t connect to the server. Now you’re getting really anxious. You are losing $500,000 for every hour that this machine is down. Now you are kicking yourself for not backing up.

I don’t think I have to say that data loss is everyone’s nightmare. At home, data loss could mean years worth of photos, videos, financials, and documents lost. In business, data loss means money out the window. Many times, however, you want to recover data, but you don’t want to pay the exorbitant fees that data recovery companies charge ($150-$250/hour). Let me introduce you to some free data recovery tools.

In the information age, productivity miracles have become almost commonplace. But living digitally, also entails risk – the kind of risk that can bring a business to the precipice.

Even though backing up files has been emphasized for years as a security measure to prevent data loss, too many people are still learning through bitter experience that backups are essential. This may be due, in part, to confusion over the many options available for external storage of backup files.
