DATA RECOVERY | Data Loss Statistic |
Losing Your Critical Data
At some point, everyone who works on a computer will experience data loss. It could be caused by mechanical failure, software glitches, data corruption, fire or other natural disasters, virus invasion or even something as simple as operator error. In many cases it is caused by a number of factors. What ever the cause might be, the problem is the same you can't access your valuable data. |
Primary Causes of Data Loss
Human error is attributed to 32% of all data loss situations - that's how vulnerable your data is. Other common causes of data loss are: |
- Accidental file deletion
- Computer viruses and worms (I Love You Virus, VBS.LoveLetter Worm, CIH, Worm.ExploreZip...)
- Corrupt or missing critical file system structures
- Inaccessible or unbootable partitions
- Software program failures
- Partitioning or boot-up problems
- Drives that have been fdisked or formatted
- Application crash
- System shutdown
- Hard disk or media failure
|
Primary Causes of File Corruption
With so many threats to your data it becomes more a question of when, rather than if, one of these causes of data corruption will strike. |
- Computer viruses and worms
- Application crashes
- System shutdown
- Power outages
- Hard disk or media failures
|
Common Mistakes
Using utilities that write to the drive can make a situation worse and in some cases make the data unrecoverable. We strongly advise you don't do it. |
