HDRA Teaches Community About Data Recovery

October 05, 2021 at 19:10 PM EDT

Irvine, CA based Hard Drive Recovery Associates (HDRA) recently published a new blog post that talks about the importance of proactive data safekeeping and how data recovery should only be done as a last resort. The post also provides some helpful information on avoiding the loss of important data and keeping it from being damaged or compromised. Using proactive methods, people can ensure that their data is protected from such situations.

As noted in the blog post, many individuals and businesses tend to think that their data is safe even when it is not. It is easy to forget that sensitive data can be lost or compromised even if there are no disasters involved, especially given that simple human error can lead to the loss of important files in a matter of seconds. For example, the loss of data can happen when a computer is stolen or an external hard drive fails. If devices are not properly backed up, valuable files will be lost forever once the device is lost or stops working.

From there, the post goes on to talk about what proactive data protection actually means. It emphasizes how important it is for companies to invest in proper backup methods (such as online backup, remote backup and local disk imaging). The post also explores how important it is to have a data loss prevention plan in place that will put up effective barriers against security threats that include virus infection, malware and even ransomware attacks.

One of the most recent ransomware that has caused widespread damage to a lot of businesses in the past months is WannaCry. It is a type of malware that encrypts certain files and then asks for payment in order to decrypt the file again. This ransomware targets computers with older operating systems, such as Windows XP, which can be problematic because Microsoft stopped providing support or updates for this particular system a few years ago now. WannaCry has affected around 200,000 systems across 150 countries, and it has already been used to extort money from individuals, companies, hospitals, banks, schools and even local authorities in different countries.

Generally speaking, HDRA explains that there are two ways to recover data after it has been lost. The first is to use a DIY method, which means that the individual will try to recover all files by themselves using a special software to locate important files on their computer or device. This can be done if there are no severe hardware problems involved with the device, but this may also mean that the device will be damaged during the process.

Another option is to turn to a company that specializes in data recovery services such as Hard Drive Recovery Associates. The company recommends that people should not attempt any type of self-service because there are no guarantees when it comes to recovering lost data, and this can severely damage or destroy a computer if done incorrectly.

The post goes on to talk about how the best way forward is by having an effective backup system in place so that important files can be recovered without too much hassle if something goes wrong. It also shares certain measures people can take, such as investing in anti-malware software and antivirus programs. They also recommend using the cloud as a backup storage space so data can be accessed from anywhere at any time.
