What is Data Recovery and How Do Data Recovery Services Work?

Data recovery is the process of recovering lost, corrupted or accidentally deleted files and/or data from servers, computers, external storage devices or smartphones. Usually this involves accessing and copying backup copies to restore original state or to new device; enterprise IT may involve repairing or replacing hardware components in a laboratory setting for successful data retrieval.

Data that compose a file are divided between its physical data storage area and its metadata, or information about it. When deleted files are made available for other uses; however, their metadata can still be recovered using specific programs. Furthermore, applications often put unique headers at the start of files to mark them as belonging to their own application - these headers can often be recovered manually with specific utilities.

Data loss can occur for many physical reasons, including CD-ROMs having their metallic substrate or dye layer scratched; hard disk drives being subjected to head crashes, PCB or motor failure, tape damage by magnetic fields or tape corruption. When such incidents happen, special tools can help in data recovery from affected devices.

Protecting systems against data loss is essential to maintaining productivity and minimizing downtime costs, particularly for businesses that rely on third-party data recovery services such as APIs or SaaS apps. By deploying robust backup and recovery capabilities, businesses can reduce the impact of data loss incidents by rapidly restoring systems back to a point before an incident took place.
