Data Recovery And Data Retrieval Don’t Be Fooled

, By Patcoola

A common mistake made by many amateur businesses in computer repair and services is to mistake Data Recovery with Data Retrieval.

Data Retrieval is nothing like Data Recovery. Data Retrieval is the act of retrieving data from an unharmed storage unit. Data Recovery is the act of recovering data from an erased or damaged storage unit.

Data Retrieval, may require the removal of a storage unit to be placed into another device. The storage unit is accessed by a service computer and backed up.

Data Recovery, if the storage unit was erased, special software is used to read the storage unit and attempt to rebuild the lost data on to another storage unit. However, if the storage unit is damaged, the storage unit is analyzed for the level of damage. Small damage is patched by special software and data recovery is conducted. For major damage, the storage unit is repaired using special machines in a dust free room. Data Recovery is a long and expensive process costing from $500 to over $10,000 dollars and is a fine example of why you should always backup your data.

Ask the business what they mean of Data Recovery the next time you visit them and note that mistaking the two services is sign of their quality and credibility.
