Computers Data Recovery Completes Disaster Recovery

July 8, 2009 - PRLog -- We use computers for so many tasks' from business to finance to storing family memories' that the amount of data we are storing is growing exponentially. According to research firms IDC and Gartner, this trend will continue to grow since PC shipments are up 13 percent over last year. This is a clear indication that people are using computers to perform more tasks than ever before, creating a greater need to store their increasingly important data.

When situations like this occur, it is important for computer users to remember that deleted or destroyed doesn'[TM]t mean gone and that data recovery companies like Kroll Ontrack, headquartered in Eden Prairie, have many years of experience recovering data from seemingly impossible situations.

This example illustrates how important data recovery services can be to businesses in need. In addition to the problems highlighted in this situation from Katrina, it'[TM]s important to note that backups often are susceptible to problems of their own. Reliability is the major issue, as a high percentage of backups fail every year. According to Microsoft, 42 percent of attempted recoveries from tape backups failed in the past year. Strategic Research estimates that as many as 50 percent of remote backups fail. That said, although a robust backup plan definitely is the best way to keep your company protected, establishing a relationship with a data recovery provider is an imperative enhancement to include in any disaster recovery plan.

So whether your business has a high level of preparedness with strict disaster recovery procedures and data backup planning, or a low level without any specific measures established, you should always look at data recovery as an option to help get your business back up and running.
If it does come to the point where a data recovery provider is the best course of action, these tips are useful in helping to choose the best provider:
* Only work with a recovery provider that can tell you exactly what they can recover after an initial evaluation. A company's expertise should be demonstrated immediately, so you can confidently determine the best course of action before making a large financial commitment.
* After the evaluation, verify that there are no undisclosed charges for viewing or accessing that listing of recoverable files. Similarly, make sure that any cleanroom work or additional parts that are necessary during the evaluation process will not incur additional charges.
* Research a provider'[TM]s history to see how long they have been involved with data recovery and determine their level of expertise.
* Determine if they can provide a variety of recovery solutions such as recovery software, in-lab service and remote data recovery, and which service is best for a particular scenario.
* Make sure you are dealing with a responsive and professional staff that provides regular updates and is up-font with all interactions.
* Select a provider that has authorization to work with sensitive and confidential material, including classified government information.

Erick Stevens from Ingersoll Rand' Climate Control Technologies sums data recovery up best, 'in a perfect world users would be more proactive about backing up their data, but real world tells us that this cannot always be the case. Things happen and it is nice to know that there is an option for us to help our users when their hard drive crashes and I cannot recover data using typical means.'
