Although floppy disks are not used as much as they used to be following the rise in popularity of other portable storage media such as CDs, DVDs and mobile drives and hard disks, they are still often used by computer users. They still remain an easy and portable solution to data storage for many of us.
Losing data from your computer can actually be an extremely stressful experience. It doesn’t matter if you lose access to business critical data or to a set of photos with sentimental value. Deleting a file by accident or seeing your whole system crash is not a pleasant experience.
Data recovery is a general term that is used in computing and technology sectors. It is used to describe the process of finding and reinstating data that has been damaged or corrupted in some way or other. So, for example, if your computer’s hard drive develops a problem and you cannot access your files then you may need some form of data recovery to get them back.
