Introduction
Needless to say the drive is a key element of the PC. May contain an operating system even more diverse applications, personal documents and much more, it is best not to fail, especially if you're not rigorous in your backups, at least if you make it ... When you look at the current capacity of our hard drives to store a large number of files, it is not difficult to imagine the time needed to reinstall an entire system not including the lost files forever. However, while manufacturers continually improve the reliability of records, no one can claim to be safe from a hardware failure means loss of data. As such, SMART (Self Monitoring Analysis & Reporting Technology) is used to detect any abnormal risk of failure in order to prevent the user who can then respond accordingly to safeguard its data.
Obviously, it is possible to make a backup of your data by several methods: optical engraving (CD-RW/DVD-RW), backup to external media (hard disk, USB, tape, ZIP, etc ... ) or create a disk image ... very active on most recent motherboards, RAID 1 or RAID 0 +1 is a very good solution to control fault tolerance, provided, however, have two disks identical to a minimum.
Although the hardware failure is a major cause for loss of data, it is a more frequent human error. Whatever the cause, in both cases, you lose your data. But perhaps not entirely. Indeed there are solutions to recover data and although we do not offer "the" miracle solution 100% reliable, it is possible to minimize a risk of loss and also to maximize the chances of retrieving data. We shall therefore in this article give you practical advice on basic maintenance on your hard drive. We will also review two software to recover data. As you can see, our goal is not to be comprehensive and test every software available (they are many) but simply to clarify you on how to manage your disks and show you that it is always possible to recover data that was thought lost ...
