The Most Common Reasons For Data Loss

Hardware Errors:
Hardware errors are the most common form of data loss. Data recovery from hardware failure, even with expensive methods, is the most difficult to remedy. Hardware errors can be physical or mechanical. If the hard drive has a failure in which the head touches the platter, the physical storage part of the hard drive can be permanently damaged and data could be forever lost. If it is a mechanical error, there is a possibility that the mechanical structure of the drive can be resorted temporarily to allow it to work long enough for the drive information to be moved. However, a recovered hard drive should never be used permanently, and it should always be replaced with a more reliable hard drive.

Logical Errors:
Logical errors are simple errors, but quick to ruin the integrity of your data. Logical errors are more easily recoverable since nothing is physically wrong with the drive. Logical errors involve things like a hardware and software conflict. They may also involve something like a software conflict where it causes the operating system to fail. Logical errors have many different descriptions and definitions, but all of them leave the data in which you need to use unrecoverable unless you can remove the conflict. This can be done through a software technician or removing the conflict on your own.

Operating System Errors:
Operating system (OS) errors often involve the dreaded blue screen of death. Operating system errors can stem from logical errors or from another software program that was installed that was not compatible with the system. OS errors also come from changing settings that do not work with the current computer. There are also numerous ways to cause a system error, but it is also the most easily recoverable method. For most problems, reinstallation of the operating system itself can help you recover the problems from an operating system error.

For all of these reasons, the use of a good backup recovery method will help save the data especially if you are unable to recover the hard drive from physical or mechanical damage. Data recovery saves the sensitive data so that you can reinstall any software on a new hard drive and simply transfer the data making recovery from a crash simpler and faster. Employ a good data recovery system and cut your downtime into half.
