Data recovery laboratory
The data recovery laboratory is a specialized institution that is engaged in extracting information from damaged or deleted data carriers. This can be a computer hard drive, a flash drive, an SSD drive and other types of information storage.
Various procedures are carried out in the laboratory to restore lost information. They can use software methods or hardware tools to read and reconstruct data from a damaged medium.
The process includes the following steps:
1. Diagnostics: a specialist determines the cause of data loss and assesses the degree of damage to the media.
2. Possibility of correction: based on the result of diagnostics, the expert determines the possibility of successful data recovery.
3. Software/hardware operation: various work techniques are used, both software and hardware methods, to access data
4. Content content: after completing all the necessary operations, the data is checked for integrity
A special case - if there was formatting, that is, complete deletion of data from the medium, then the process may be more complicated and require specialized equipment.
Data recovery laboratories can work both for private individuals who have lost their data on a personal computer or data storage device, and for enterprises. It is important to choose certified experts of the relevant laboratory with experience in this field.
