DATA RECOVERY SERVICES
There is nothing more
catastrophic in the world of technology than losing your data.
Years of financial records, hundreds of pictures, important
client communications can all be lost in an instant should the
worst case scenario happen. When disaster strikes, Southwest
Computer Solutions, Inc. can help! Our extensive data recovery
capabilities result in 99% success rate for recovering
important files, pictures, and financial information
regardless of the circumstances through which your data was
lost. In most cases, data is recoverable relatively easily.
Many times when a computer experiences hardware failure, the
drive itself remains functional and in-tact. In these cases
the drive can be removed from the chassis, attached to another
computer, and the data simply extracted to alternate media. In
other cases where the hard drive itself is damaged, data can
still be recovered by sending the device to a specialized data
recovery lab for extraction service. Southwest Computer
Solutions, Inc. is an authorized reseller for Ontrack Data
Recovery services, whose recovery capabilities reach far
beyond simply migration. Hard drives can be re-assembled and
re-constructed in their clean room to maximize recovery
potential.

DATA PROTECTION TIPS
- Store computer
equipment in a safe environment. Your customer’s
computer should be in a dry, cool, controlled environment
that is clean, dust-free and secluded.
- Customers should
backup their data regularly. Back up data at least
once a week with reliable tapes or other storage devices,
always verifying that the correct data is backed up.
- Use an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). In the event of
a surge of electricity or lightning strike, an
uninterruptible power supply protects the computer from
becoming damaged. In addition, a UPS has a battery backup
that keeps the computer running, allowing customers to save
the data and avoid data loss. If UPS is not a viable
solution, a surge protector is also a good investment.
- Run a virus scan
regularly and update it four times a year. Computer
viruses are one of the worst enemies to data protection.
Good anti-virus software tests their system for sequences of
code unique to each known computer virus and eliminates the
infecting invader.
- Be aware of strange
noises. Should your customers hear strange noises
or grinding sounds, they should turn off their computer
immediately and call an expert. Further operation may damage
their hard drive beyond repair.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL DATA
RECOVERY
There follows a number of tips
for safeguarding data against additional damage in the event
of data loss. Perhaps the most important tip is to never
assume that data is irrecoverable. Professional data recovery
services offer the expertise and tools required to recover
data quickly and successfully.
PHYSICAL DAMAGE
Physical damage can manifest
itself in many forms including clicking, grinding, spinning or
other strange noises. If your customer suspects physical
damage, these tips can help reduce further data loss:
- Do not shake, disassemble or
attempt to clean any hard drive or server that has been
damaged - improper handling can jeopardize the data recovery
process
- Never attempt to operate any
visibly damaged devices
- Turn off computer
immediately - further operation may damage data beyond
repair
- Do not use recovery software
since it may destroy what was otherwise recoverable data
- Do not place a fire-damaged
drive in refrigerator to cool media and do not try to remove
hard drive - ship entire computer for recovery
- Never attempt to dry water
damaged media by exposing it to heat. Instead, place the
media in a container that will keep it damp before shipping
Physical damage, no matter what
the cause, requires clean room attention.
NON-PHYSICAL DAMAGE
- Users may see messages such
as “No OS found”, “Corrupt Volume” or may simply be missing
files and folders
- Shut the computer down
immediately. The longer a damaged hard drive is left
running, the more data that can be irretrievably lost
- Do not run “CHKDSK” or
“VRepair”
