How Not to Lose Your Meaningful Data

dont_forgetFew things are more precious than one’s memories. We all like to collect family photos, home movies, and records of experiences, information, and stories to keep the memories alive. In the past, these items were stored on paper in a box in the closet, but today’s memorabilia is primarily digital. The most common way of storing them is on a hard drive or memory card.

Because of their inestimable value, the idea of losing those memories is unthinkable. One can’t go to the local department store and pick up a replacement of personal items such as a clip of your child reciting the alphabet for the first time, a photo of Grandpa holding his newest grandchild, or a scan of a hand-made Mother’s Day card from your five-year-old daughter. Experts advise that precautions be taken to preserve these special data files. One way to do this is to back up files periodically and store one copy at home and a second copy in an off-site location.

“Oh, No!” Moment

Despite efforts to protect our data, however, careless acts and accidents do happen that can cause the loss of irreplaceable media. Imagine the following possible scenarios:

  • Your home office suffers a power surge, wiping out your entire system.
  • A grandchild yanks the cables and sends your hard drive crashing to the floor.
  • Your teenager spills his soda on the laptop, frying the components.

The first inclination you might have in such a situation may be to curse the weather, clobber your teenager, or banish your grandchild, until it occurs to you that they are the children in the photos that you may never see again. If something like this happens to your data, you should know that there is hope for the recovery of lost data: you need not despair.

Hope and Help Are Here

Using specialized tools and techniques, a professional data recovery team can safely retrieve data from damaged computer in most cases – up to 85% of the time.

Reclaiming Your Remembrances

Documentation of your children’s milestones, the photos of your ancestors that you spent hours scanning, your vacation journal, the elaborate digital scrap books you created, and all your other unique records are still within the machine’s storage device (i.e. a hard disk or memory stick/card) and can be located and retrieved by the engineer. In the event that you have need of these services, take a deep breath and keep your cool. Just contact your local Ottawa, ON data recovery services provider for free consultation or submit your recovery request here and you can rest assured that your precious records would be recovered.

My usb flash drive was dead

A couple of days ago I found out the hard way that also memory sticks are finite. And because it never had crossed my mind that this was the case I off course never made a back-up. My worries became even greater when I was told that there was no usual way to recover the data and that they the likelihood was that they would be lost forever. Needless to say that I was so relieved to finally find a company all the way in Ottawa that could help me out. So I sent a message and after a phone call and Erik I felt reassured about the possible recuperation and about the confidentiality of the files and I sent him my stick and I got most of my data back. The service was fast and very friendly and very helpful. Also after I got my my data back and my invoice paid I sent him a file that was still corrupted and he managed to clear it with the assurance that I could send him other important files if needed and without any further billing. So I am very satisfied with the service and I can recommend HDD recovery.
