Things you have to know about data recovery

Data recovery is very important in nowadays. As it will cost a big loss if data loss happened on individuals or companies. Now we will talk about those common sense of data recovery.

First, things you should pay attention to during the data recovery procedure.

1. Do not write new data to the source disk, as the secondary damage of data aroused by error operation will lead to data recovery difficulty.

2. Do not format the partition again. After the user’s first formatting, the partition type got changed and that result in data loss. When you suffered from data loss and the general software can not scan the original directory format, you may format the partition again into its original type, then scan the data.

3. Do not restore the recovered data to the source disk. Many users may restore the recovered files to its original directory, that will destruct the original data.

4. Do not rebuild the partition. When the partition table has destroyed or deleted, if you use the partition table to reconstruct or create the partition, the original partition file allocation table or file table is very easy to be destroyed, and that will cause difficulty to data restoration .

5. Do not make array twice after the array has lost. Any writing operation will lead to the data loss.

6. Do not store new files on the partition. The best choice for you is to close the download tool, do not surf on the Internet, turn off the unnecessary applications, then scan the data. 

Second, things you should notice when you doing data process.

1. Do not cut the file. Sometimes you want to cut a directory to another disk, and that operation will cause troubles. The source disk data is gone, while the target disk has stored none data. It is better for you to copy the data to the target disk first, then delete the source disk directory file.

2. For the directory file has lots of partitions, do not defragment directly, because the disk defragmentation process may cause wrong operation, and the lost data is difficult to restore. Therefore, first copy the data to the other disk, and then format the disk to do the finishing disk, and then copy the data back.

3. Do not adjust the size of the partition arbitrarily. As it is easy to make mistakes during the partition adjusting process. Once got data loss or overwritten, it is very difficult for restore the data.

Pay attention, crate data backup for the important files. And find a professional data recovery engineer for data recovery when you got data loss.
