How Does Data Recovery Work? (Top Techniques & More)

How Does Data Recovery Work? (Top Techniques & More)

Not all data loss is created equal. An accidentally deleted file is much easier to recover than files on a fire-damaged computer. But, no matter how they’re lost, once a file’s gone, you truly realize how much you needed it.

Whether it’s cherished family vacation photos or all of last year’s accounting records, losing computer data is the same as losing a physical filing cabinet that holds thousands of important files, records, and memories.

According to Dell, the average cost to companies for a data loss episode is $2,450, and that’s if the data is retrievable. A per record lost file estimate from Ponemon Institute is $154 per file. If a company is in the healthcare industry and subject to HIPAA regulations, each lost or stolen record containing sensitive information can cost them an average of $363 per record.

Costs for lost data add up fast, and if the data isn’t retrievable, they can skyrocket even higher.

At Connect2Geek.com, data recovery is a specialty of ours. We offer risk-free data recovery services… You don’t pay unless we get your data back. We know how important it is to have files restored, and we’re able to do most of the work in house, and we partner with severe case recovery experts when needed. [Read more…]
