What is Your Data Recovery Plan?
In this day and age, I know that everyone has at least some backup plan. But what is your plan to restore your backups? It sounds like the same question, but it’s not.
I just had a hard drive failure on my server at the office. No problem. We have a 3 disk RAID 5 array on our server where we can lose a drive without losing a beat. You replace the drive, the system rebuilds and away you go. We did this and were fine.
My tech guy suggested putting all of the system files on a separate physical drive and then imaging an exact copy of the system drive, so that if our server went down we could swap drives and bring the server up lickety split. Sounded like a good idea to me so we went ahead with it.
I’m currently using TimeMatters Enterprise for case management. It uses a SQL Server backend. Every time that I load the program, it tells me that my database is in a TimeMatters Data Directory. It wasn’t.
It was in my Windows system directory, which is now gone (rebuilt from scratch on a separate drive).
I have 5 separate copies of the Data directory in three different physical locations. Apparently there is no data in the data directory except to tell the program to look in a Windows system folder subdirectory. Go figure.
I’m sending the disks off to a data recovery service. If the disks don’t restore, I have a copy several months old with good printouts that are only days old. I’ll be able to rebuild the information with effort.
The moral of the story? Not only do backups, but also practice restoring from the backups and make certain that you actually are backing up the info you need.
On our page you will find how to restore/recover information from your hard disk, cd, dvd, tape drive or flash memory, both for PC and MAC. If the damage done to your Hard disk is physical you will in most cases not be able to restore the data yourself. For this there are specialized companies whom can do the job for you.

This is a very informative work indeed. But still there are many users who have lost their data just because they dont know that allmost 85-90% of the data that they think is lost can be recovered. There are two ways one where there is just a file damage and user cannot read the file and it can be recovered using a data recovery software and other one is a physical damage to the storage media which the user should not handle as it would further spoil the Disk. In such cases any data recovery service like the Disk Doctors Labs can be consulted and further steps can be taken.
I own a small business and we backup our data daily. I have been using StompSoft's PC Backup (http://www.stompsoft.com/pc-backup/pc-backup.html) to keep my backed up files up to date, though I never though about having to add restoration to the process as a matter of good practice. I think that you have given me some food for thought.
