| Articles: Date recoverability | |
|
To what extent it is possible to recover lost information?
In a data loss scenario the most important question is: Are the files still recoverable? This answer depends on what action needs to be taken, whether to pursue the data recovery or to develop strategies of coping with the data loss.
The situation is often very difficult to judge. Sometimes it is not fully clear what caused the data loss in the first place. Some technician might have already tried to solve the problem. Also, the effect of common remedies, such as Microsoft's "Checkdisk", on the recoverability is quite unknown.
This article is supposed to sort out what is possible and what is not. We will try to explain, for a given scenario, what can be expected. For this purpose we must restrict the idea of "recoverability" to "commercially available and affordable data recovery". While it might be possible that the magnetization that once constituted the data is still present on the media, often times the technology to recover the data for an economically reasonable price is not available.
