Losing files in a computer crash is a nightmare. Whether you’re worried about term papers, contracts, or anything else, losing important files can cause you to miss deadlines and fall behind on productivity. That’s why it’s important to keep your files backed up and know where to go for data recovery if your computer crashes. Whether you are looking for data recovery services on a broken computer or are hoping to find a proactive solution to keep your files stored and safe, here are a few things to know about data recovery.

What is data recovery?

As the name suggests, data recovery is the “restoration in full or in part of the data stored in deleted or damaged data files.” Data loss can happen for a number of reasons including hard drive malfunction, liquid damage, viruses, power surges, and a number of others issues. If your computer will not turn on, or you cannot find certain files on your computer, however, these files may not be lost forever. Data recovery is the process of restoring the files you may have lost so your information can be restored.

I’m worried all of my data is gone. What do I do?

If your computer has crashed and you fear all of your files have disappeared, don’t lose hope yet! GoEBITS can employ a number of strategies to restore your data so your important information is not lost. Our data recovery experts can employ a number of strategies to recover your lost files and get your business up and running once again. We use the following data recovery methods:

  • DeepSpar low-level disk recovery technology. This technology can recover data from failed, corrupted, or unstable disk drives
  • ISO 5 cleanroom environment or certified secure data recovery process, which can be used in serious cases where other data recovery software won’t work

How to prevent data loss on from your computer

While data recovery is possible in most cases, sometimes prevention is the best medicine. Backing up your files on a regular basis and using digital computing platforms such as Google Docs and Drive store files online so you don’t have to worry about losing them when your computer crashes. Making sure you regularly backup your files is a must to avoid data loss. Cloud-based systems and hard drives are the most common methods for backing up files.

Cloud-based systems: Cloud-based systems can be a great option for backing up data. The Cloud is not a physical thing but rather a network of servers that store information in the digital space. Choosing this method for backing up your files is a great option because you can typically purchase infinite space online without worrying about a running out of space on a physical device. One can also typically access this type of data from any location, and you don’t have to worry about possessing or losing a physical device to have your files. Many cloud-based systems can also undergo automatic backup so you won’t have to worry about remembering to save your files regularly. Some people will opt for cloud-based systems because they prefer the security that comes will have files stored on a device rather than online.

Hard Drives: Backing up your files on a hard drive is another great solution for preventing data loss. Physical devices are easy to use and are relatively inexpensive, especially for small to medium-sized storage devices. Some people opt for hard drives because they are highly secure because they are tangible devices that store your information in a single place. The downside of this type of backup is that you will need the physical device to access your files and most devices require manual backup.
