The Importance of Computer Backups

Mon, 01 Aug 2011 08:44:09 +0000

Backing up important data and files is extremely important; nonetheless, many users do not perform regular backup. Unfortunately, many home users do not understand the reasons and methods of this important task. In talking with many computer users, there are a variety of reasons that people do not do this:
• “Backing up my files seems very complicated and difficult.” Most of the software available today is very easy to use. The programs have intuitive interfaces that make the job easier. The software almost walks you through the process.
• “I don’t want to buy any more expensive hardware to backup my files.” The fact is that you may already have the hardware necessary. Backups can be made to inexpensive CDs, DVDs and USB flash drives. Even external hard drives have become more affordable. Additionally, online storage sites are becoming increasingly popular and many offer large disk space at affordable prices.
• “I don’t have anything worth backing up.” If family photos, financial records and important communications from friends and family are stored on the computer, the user has something worth backing up. Alternatively, the user may have something that he or she cannot afford to lose. For instance – family photos. When film and prints were used, if a picture was damaged or lost, it could be replaced easily and cheaply. The negative could be used to make copies repeatedly. But digital copies cannot be replaced if the computer was damaged, lost or stolen.
It does not matter what type of computer is involved, either. If physical drive failure occurs on a Mac, then a data recovery Macintosh expert will need to repair the drive before the files can be recovered. Because the file formats are different from files on Windows-based PC, the recovery technician must know how to perform Mac file recovery. On the other hand, a technician working on a Windows PC will be working with the FAT or NTSF file formats.
Regardless of what file format is to be recovered, the technician will probably ask if there is a recent backup available. They will ask because they know that complete file recovery is not always possible. Backing up files is the only real way to ensure that none of the important data is completely lost.

What is Data Migration?

Thu, 28 Jul 2011 06:04:15 +0000

When a data recovery service is mentioned, most people think of hard drive failure, data corruption and missing or deleted files. However, a recovery service, like The Data Rescue Center, can offer more than just data recovery. One of those services is data migration. So, what is data migration and why might it be needed?

Data migration is the process of moving data from one media to another. It may be moving from one hard drive to another, from one computer to a new one, or from one form of media to a different kind. For example, you might have family movies recorded on a VHS tape and want to transfer them to a DVD to protect them from loss due to aging or to be able to share them with family and friends.

Another reason for data migration is that some older technologies are no longer in use. If data was stored on floppies, Zip or Jaz drives or obsolete SCSI hard drives, new computers may not be able to access them anymore. Transferring these files often requires special equipment. While it might be possible for individuals to do this themselves, it would not be prudent to buy special equipment that is going to be used one time and then scrapped. Furthermore, the equipment available at retail stores is usually not professional quality and the results may not be acceptable.

An additional benefit of migration is having important data recovery information available in the event of a drive failure. Because portable computers are very susceptible to damage, the success of notebook data recovery is improved with migrated data.
