Data loss is one of the biggest concerns for people who create, modify or enter any type of data into a computer system. Data loss can impact anyone doing routine data entry, including businesses or individuals. Depending on the type of data loss that occurs, it may be possible to recover most, if not all, of the data using various data recovery methods. Both logical and physical data loss, form the complete structure of data loss.

There are many causes of logical data loss. These include malware, corrupt NTFS or FAT, electrostatic discharge, intermittent read/writes physical failure, deletion of critical operating system components, virus attack of data structure or operating system, software program badly written, software non compatible with operating system, deletion of partition letter, no free disk space available, employee sabotage and unexpected power surge. Some logical problems can have physical causes at their root (bad sectors, write-errors) and may still be recoverable with logical techniques and tools.

There are different methods to prevent data loss like, taking regular backups of the data on your computer, having a good antivirus protection for your system, keeping multiple copies of all your important documents, in different drives in your system. These methods are good, but under certain uncontrollable circumstances, data loss cannot be prevented. In such cases, you require a good data recovery software, to recover lost data.

How does a data recovery software recover lost data?

Data recovery in case of logical data loss is easier compared to recovery of data in case of a physical data loss. This is because, in case of logical data loss, the data is not completely erased from the hard drive, as soon as it gets lost or is deleted. Instead, only the pointers to the given file are deleted. This marks the disk space occupied by the file as free, and hence, any new data can be written onto this disk space. The success rate of data recovery therefore depends on how quick the user responds to the data loss scenario, and makes use of a good data recovery software, to recover the lost data.

REMO Recover (Windows) Pro Edition software, lets the user recover lost data from both NTFS and FAT file systems with utmost ease. Some of the key features of the software, can be summarized as follows,

• The software has an easy to use interface, which demands zero technical knowledge from the user for its operation.
• Supports recovery of lost/deleted files from SATA/IDE/USB/SCSI hard drives.
• Lets you recover photos, audio and video files of all well known formats.
• Lets you trace lost files, by using the advanced file tracer option.
• Lets you recover data from lost/deleted partitions.
• The Preview option embedded in the software lets the user get a fair idea of the file, before it is actually saved.
• The software also lets you create a disk image, of a given hard drive. The disk image is a sector by sector copy of the whole hard drive. The user can later use this disk image, to recover the lost data.
