Things to Remember while Buying Data Recovery Software

February 13, 2013

Losing access to important data is one of the most frightening situations. Weather it is business related information or personal stuff; one is always attentive towards data safety. However, some disastrous situations, such as malware attack, abrupt system shutdown etc., apply forces against protection to make the data inaccessible. Imagine that you are working for an organization, power fails all of a sudden, system shuts down and after restarting the computer you find that all the data you prepared is disappeared. Worries! You will try to find out something that could help in bringing all the data back. And the first thing that strikes the mind is recovery software. So, now you have found out the answer, however, a challenge again punches you to look for an appropriate application that could give the desired results. Below are some important points to keep in mind whilst buying data recovery software:

Guidelines for Buying Data Recovery Software

Guidelines for Buying Data Recovery Software

Gain Information of your OS and Hard Drive

When it comes to information retrieval, only adequate software can do it. Before looking for such software, you should know how your hard drive and operating system work. Particularly, the version of the OS installed on your computer; it will help you find out the software that is compatible with that version. Other than this, when you delete a file, it is not gone permanently rather, the space occupied by the deleted file is marked as ‘unused’ by the OS. The data is gone only when some other file is saved, that means it retains in the computer until gets overwritten. As a reason of that, recovery software are built to work on different hard drive or external media. It prevents writing over the data present on hard drive.

Know the Cause of the Corruption

Apart from accidental deletion, if the file gets deleted due to events like power failure or infection, as mentioned above, you need to figure out the cause of the data loss. It will help you can get an appropriate recovery application. If case is not severe, you need not to pay for heavy software that is built to combat disastrous situations. And yes, if severe corruption occurs and you buy the software that is not capable of dealing with the major corruption scenarios, it will again be of no help. Hence ‘appropriacy’ is a mandate.

Know the Supported Data Storage

Another important point to consider includes knowing about the storage format supported by your operating system. Unfortunately, some storage formats remove the file as it is deleted; it indicates that there is no probability of data recovery. Therefore, you should buy recovery software that is compatible with the media you use.

Assess the Software’s Efficiency

The next consideration should include whether the software is capable to recover data from different locations/media, such as volumes, hard drive, and external drive. It will help you recover the data if loss occurs in future. The software should not be very specific rather it has to cover a wide area, it should be robust and scalable.

A data recovery application is the only hope when you come across huge data loss, and that too when data cannot be recovered using open options. Therefore, it is important to look for the software that fulfills the major criteria described above.
