Reasons for Data Corruption and Loss, and Solutions to Avoid Losing Data

Today, I would like to show my readers the common causes of data loss and corruption, and I will also recommend some solutions to get rid of that bad situation. Firstly, let me show you some common causes. They are as follows:


l  Shutdown improperly, caused by power outages or performing a hard restart.
l  Hardware problems or failures, including bad sectors, bad RAM.
l  Eject external storage devices unsuccessfully while disconnecting them.

The causes above can easily lead to a corrupted hard drive directory, which can apparently cause data "go missing". As a result, the disk space will show free or inaccurately. Thus, it is really bad to use your Mac while happened to these situations.

Apart from the caused cited above, software update failed will corrupt operating system files. If your Mac system files has been corrupted, it will fail to start up or be faced with recurring kernel panics when a corrupted kernel extension is used.

Since you know the reasons, it is a wise way to take actions for minimizing the risk of data loss and corruption. Here are some options to avoid that situation on your Mac:

l  Implement a comprehensive Backup and Recovery Solution and use it regularly.
l  Do a regular detection and treatment for Mac OS X
l  Make sure an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) if you are a desktop Mac user.
l  Troubleshoot the cause of the problem when problems occur.
l  Do not install Mac OS X Updates on a malfunctioning Mac.

From now on, you can be careful with the cases of data loss, and do the suitable options to protect your Mac, because data seems to important for you to some extent. However, you can not make sure everything is quite safe. So, possessing a Mac data recovery software is necessary, because if data loss, you can use Mac data recovery software to get back all your data. Here, I recommend some excellent data recovery software:

l  Disk Drill ($89)


Each software has free version, but the free version has limitation. If you like, you can have a try!
