Top 10 Tips for Data Recovery

to help you recover data as successfully as possible, please pay attention to the following tips:

1. Perform data recovery as soon as possible to avoid further damage to lost data

2. Whenever possible, stop using the storage device that has lost data as much as possible

3. Even if there is no data recovery for the time being, try to directly backup the storage device as a whole

4. What many users don’t know is that some computers are set to automatically and regularly perform disk defragmentation by default, and disk defragmentation tools are the biggest enemy of data recovery.
If data loss occurs, the disk is defragmented before data recovery, and the success rate of data recovery will be greatly reduced. Of course, it does not mean that recovery is impossible.
Therefore, after data loss, the first thing to check is whether a defragmentation tool is running or will run, and if so, stop it and disable it from running automatically on a regular basis.

5. If there is a problem with the storage device itself, which makes it difficult to open the device on the computer or read the disk, please keep calm and be patient first, and believe that the data has a chance to be recovered. Don’t give up easily unless it is absolutely necessary. Do not perform physical repairs on storage devices lightly, because any accidents in physical repairs may lead to complete data destruction or irrecoverable data.

6. If the storage device is difficult to open on the computer, or difficult to read the disk, please refer to the article:

7. Anyone who claims that the success rate of data recovery is 100% is lying to you. The success rate of data recovery depends on the degree of data damage, and also depends on the function and performance level of the tools you use

8. Different data recovery software adopts different data recovery strategies. The data that cannot be recovered by using A product does not mean that B product cannot be recovered.

9. Data that has been lost for a long time may not be unrecoverable, and data that has just been lost may not be 100% recoverable.

10. As many people know, many things in this world are wonderful. The tools of all walks of life are not necessarily the most famous or the most fancy products are the best products, especially some companies or Some people are good at in-depth study of technology, some companies or some people are good at publicity, advertising, marketing, and packaging. Therefore, for important matters such as data recovery, you should not be superstitious about advertisements, and try your best to try the results.
