Migrating Recovered Data
What you should expect to get back after your data is recovered.







 |
When
DriveSavers completes a recovery, the recovered data is returned on
a new hard drive, DVD or other media. If the drive was physically
damaged or malfunctioning, it is probably unreliable and you may
need to purchase another one. If it is in warranty, you can then
send the recovered drive back to the vendor for replacement once the
recovery is completed. DriveSavers is authorized to open all drives
without voiding the warranty. |
DriveSavers recovers everything from
the failed media (including applications, operating systems and data
files), but our engineers only verify the integrity and quality of
the data files. Copying the files over to a new drive may not
complete the process; the user may need to take some time to restore
settings and reinstall applications to insure that everything
functions properly. In some cases these preferences and settings can
be imported.
Additionally, there are some other
solutions that can help a customer return to pre-failure state.
Current operating systems have software to assist the user with this
process. Utility software that automates the task is also available
for purchase, as are USB "data transfer" cables that can help with a
data import.

Most importantly, always make and
verify a backup if you need to move data for any reason.
A "directory recovery" is the most
common and best quality recovery that DriveSavers can produce.
However, when a user has deleted files/folders, initialized or
formatted a drive or, for an unknown reason, has missing documents;
the data may have to be returned in a "generic" format.
If the original directory pointers
(technically referred to as the "catalog and extent tree leaf
nodes") are lost or overwritten, a generic recovery is a likely
probability, although a directory recovery may still be possible.
The directory functions like a book's table of contents, locating
and accessing files stored randomly across the platters.
DriveSavers engineers have developed
highly customized utilities that allow them to recover data in spite
of damaged file directories. Working at the sector level, they can
define and decipher hex code "headers", organize the data by file
type (Word, Excel, Photoshop, etc.) and verify that the recovered
files are complete and undamaged. The customer would then open and
rename each file after the data is returned.
