Data Recovery Tip of the Month

Data Recovery is a difficult and often inexact science that can quickly become an impossibility if care is not taken. Here are some simple precautions to take before you attempt any DIY data recovery:

1. Attempt to get your most important data first; The drive could stop working at any time

2. Place the drive in a separate computer to perform any repairs

3. Use a program like Acronis TrueImage to make an exact copy of the drive before you make any changes to the drive.

4. Never install recovery software on the drive to be recovered

5. Never attempt recovery of files that you must have. Contact a data recovery professional first.
