DATA RECOVERY
DATA RECOVERY
Data recovery is the process of recovering data from secondary storage devices ( including a hard disk, USB disk, memory card etc) when the data is no longer accessible normally. No matter how reliable storage device you use, any mechanical or electronic device always have a chance of failure. Fire, flood, earthquake or any other natural disaster can physically damage the storage device. This kind of damage known as physical damage and mostly cannot be repaired by the end user. These kinds of damage require special kind of hardware and technical expertise. Companies deploy several level backup strategies to deal with these kinds of situation.
In addition, there are other non-failure related causes of data loss like accidentally deleting files, repartitioning or formatting a disk etc. This kind of damage known as logical damage. In this section, we will try to recover these kinds of data.
USB data recovery
USB flash drive is one of the most widely used devices. USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable, and physically much smaller than an optical disc. USB flash drives have no moving parts. Additionally, they are immune to magnetic interference (unlike floppy disks) and unharmed by surface scratches (unlike CD, DVDs). USB flash drive used for storage, backup, and transfer of computer files. They are smaller, faster, have thousands of times more capacity, and are more durable and reliable. Currently, up to 512 GB drives available in the market. USB flash drives use the USB mass storage standard, supported natively by all modern operating systems such as Linux, Unix, Windows, as well as many BIOS boot ROMs.
There is always a chance of data loss from a USB drive. In this article, we will recover data from USB Flash drive.
Attach a pen drive to the system
Move some dummy data in it
Delete all files
Suppose that it was an important data and we need it back. We cannot restore it from Recycle bin.
Whenever you delete a file from USB drive operating system actually does not delete a file, it only deletes file allocation information and set disk space as unused.
Any new data transfer or creation of a file in the drive will reduce your chance of recovery. You should avoid using flash drive after discovering that you need to recover a file. You have a good chance of recovery until this disk space is used by another file.
