Data Recovery is becoming more of a need in todays computer world, despite technological advances in the reliability of storage media. Here are a few examples why;
1. More data is being stored in smaller spaces. Today's hard drives store 500 times the data stored on the drives of a decade ago. Increasing storage capacities amplify the impact of data loss, making mechanical precision more critical.
2. Backup tools and techniques are not 100% reliable. Most computer users rely on backups as their safety net in the event of data loss (a recommended practice). Backups assume that hardware and storage media are in working order, that the data is not corrupted, and that your backup is recent enough to provide full recovery and up to date information.
3. Diagnostic Tools and Recovery Software often corrupt data. Always save an UNDO File.
