Remote Data Recovery| Recover from Logical Failures

Losing data is a horrible thing. Besides restoring data from backup, you can resort to DIY data recovery software or send drive to a lab where engineers can help retrieve data by professional technology and specialized tools. But here’s another opt –remote data recovery.

 Remote Data Recovery

Remote data recovery refers to data recovery engineers retrieve customer’s data back through a modem or Internet connection.  Compared with data recovery in a lab, it’s faster and costs less. You can try remote data recovery service if your hard drive encounters a logical failure like accidental format, deletion, partition lost, damaged directory, RAW format, virus invasion, 0 byte, etc.  That is to say, your drive is still functioning but your files are inaccessible due to logical failure. 

Necessary Preconditions of Remote Data Recovery

•          Storage devices losing data (hard drive, flash drive, memory card, digital equipment, etc.) can   be connected to computers in a normal status.
•          Computer system can run well and connect to internet.
•           Computer is equipped with remote assistant, communication tools.
•           No virus and Trojan.
•           Enough storage space to save recovered files.

•          Stable and smooth network.

Pros and Cons of Remote Data Recovery

Pros: People tend to rely more on traditional data recovery method than RDR. First, they believe that only engineers with highly specialized tools in state-of-the-art clean rooms can restore lost data successfully. Secondly, information security is another concern. In their opinions, it is unreliable to having computer systems and valuable data connected to a third-party system.  In fact, RDR offers same advantages data recovery in lab. And it is more cost effective and fast, because you don’t need to send drive to a lab and wait for recovery. Security is really not a question in that each recovery is performed through a connection secured with proprietary communication protocols and encrypted packets. 

Cons: RDR can only deal with logical failure problems. RDR isn’t an expert in Physical failure.

In the marketing, there’re many companies offering remote data recovery service, such as Seagate, Kroll Ontrack, etc.  Use RDR to recover data due to logical failure is to save time, money and restoring peace of mind as soon as possible.
