When you operate a start up, you may not have the budget to hire specialized personnel for all departments, like big companies do. IT and data recovery services are the ones which you can outsource without major problems. After all, computers don't break every day, do they?

There are various reasons why the files on a hard disk can be lost or corrupted. The hard drive crash is only one of these possible causes. Other frequent ones are: accidental deletion, accidental format, operating system failure, or physical damage of the disk such as floods, fire or dropping from a big height.

Should your drive fail to operate or emit peculiar noises, the first step is to shut down the system. The second step is to contact a data recover service company. You can find a lot of such companies by doing a simple search on the internet. They can retrieve almost any kind of data, so you're safe.

Never download or buy data recovery software in order to try to retrieve your data without help. You may not succeed in your enterprise and you can kiss your data goodbye. It is wiser not to do that, because you can't know what happened and if you are doing more harm than good with that software.

Generally speaking, many types of data retrieval are possible: NTFS, FAT, Novell data recovery, Macintosh data recovery, Linux data recovery or logical data error recovery. Each of them requires special software tools to get the job done. There are no success guarantees, but usually the success rate is pretty high.

If your computer's hard disk makes an unusual noise in operation, this may be a sign that it will soon crash. A hardware recovery cannot be done at home, so you'll need to go to a disaster recovery company. They work in clean rooms, which are protected from dust or other particles that may cause definitive damage to a hard drive.

Crashed RAID disks can be retrieved, but no service would guarantee you complete success. In order for a RAID recovery to succeed, it is necessary that all the servers in the array are accessible.
