Definition:
Data recovery services can recover data on otherwise lost or damaged hard
drives. If you lose your hard drive and standard tools cannot recover
data off of it, a data recovery service company can usually recover the
data for the right price. These services generally range in the several
hundred dollar to over a thousand dollars.
Your data may become corrupted for many reasons including hardware failure,
viruses, software corruption, and user error. Today’s techniques
use a variety of both hardware and software to recover your data. Data
can be recovered in almost all instances using either software tools or
sophisticated data recovery services offered.
Data can be corrupted by damage to the physical media (e.g. water, fire,
magnetic fields, etc) or errors in writing data to the disk (e.g. malfunctioning
media drive, user error, and so on).
There are
companies that are able to take off all the data still remaining on the
media, even though it's damaged, and piece it all together again. In some
cases they can even use this recovered data to recreate the lost data.
Depending
on which media type was being used, the type and extent of damage caused,
and the company chosen to recover the data, you should be able to recover
at least some (if not all) of your important information.
