Fire? Flood? Don't despair: The data could still be there!
Don't ditch that drive prematurely: Data can often be recovered from
many natural disasters
ARMONK, NY and SAN DIEGO, CA, Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ - Hurricane Charley
and other natural disasters often herald the onset of catastrophic data loss,
but even the worst fire or flood doesn't mean the data is irrevocably
irretrievable: CBL Data Recovery Technologies (S) Pte Ltd. (http://www.cbltech.com), a
leading international provider of computer data recovery services, has seen
the worse Mother Nature has to offer and more often than not has been able to
bring back data from frozen, fried or otherwise soggy hard drives.
"Many enterprises and end users underestimate the resiliency of data
storage media when damaged by water or fire," says CBL Data Recovery
Technologies CEO Bill Margeson. "Our experience is data can be recovered from
hard drives that have been seriously soiled by mud slides, melted by infernos
and buffeted by heavy storms."
So don't write off the data yet; there is always the chance that it can
be recovered. CBL recently recovered data from servers flooded with two feet
of sewage water!
"You'd be surprised how much damaged a hard disk can endure, but many
companies write off damaged data storage media prematurely," adds Margeson.
"However, we take the view that the glass is always half full and it can never
hurt to attempt recovery."
Last year's massive power outage and the recent havoc reeked by Hurricane
Charley in Florida are vivid reminders that it's not a matter of if disaster
will strike, but when. And while CBL has an excellent track record for
recovering data in dire circumstances, prevention is always worth a pound of
cure. Companies need to have a data backup strategy in place that includes
offsite backup, and any plan needs to be tested in an actual recovery
scenario.
A leader in its field, CBL is a multinational data recovery organization
with facilities in the U.S.A., Canada, Brazil, Barbados, England, Germany,
China, Singapore, Japan and Australia. The company has been focused solely on
the data recovery market for more than a decade. Through its on-going research
and development efforts, CBL has created a library of proprietary processes to
successfully recover data from failed PC hard disk drives when all other
conventional methods have failed.
