Data (Re)covery
Have you ever lost your data?
What is data?
Do you have family pictures stored on your computer? Do you keep checkbook or tax information on your computer? Are you a business owner with work orders and customer data? Do you have school work, music files, address books, drawings, etc stored on your computer? It's easy to remember; any file, media, application, or browsing activity on your mobile devices or computer is data!
How do you measure data?
We don't. You do! If you think it's important and want it back, we will use the latest knowledge and industry-leading techniques to get it back!
How does data get lost?
CDs get scratched, hard drives have mechanical or logical failures, people accidentally delete data; even worse there are malware, viruses, natural disasters, and power surges that can affect your data - the list goes on. It doesn't matter how data becomes lost, (re)surge uses the latest techniques, tools, and experience to retrieve it.
Is lost data really lost?
Think about this; if your home had no address, could people still find you? Of course they can. They would just use different tools and information to get there. Lost data is very similar; to find, (re)store, or (re)create that data, we just have to use different means, tools, and methods.
Where is data?
Data is stored in sectors, cells, blocks or tracks. Your data has names, locations, pointers, and links that help your devices know where to find them. Even lost, damaged, or corrupted data still exists on your devices, even if the identifiers have been eliminated. (Re)surge understands how data is stored and how to bring it back to the correct state.

Data Recovery
[dat-uh re-kuhv-uh-ree]
The process of salvaging data from damaged, failed, corrupted or inaccessible primary storage media when it cannot be accessed normally. Often the data are being salvaged from storage media formats such as hard disk drive, storage tapes, CDs, DVDs, RAID, and other electronics. This can be due to physical damage to the storage device or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host operating system. Although there is some confusion as to the term, data (re)covery can also be the process of retrieving and securing deleted information from a storage media for forensic purposes of spying.
Methods of (re)covery:
- (Re)construction of hidden, deleted, overwritten, encrypted, trojanized, or corrupted files.
- Data (re)covery from usb & flash devices, cameras, laptops, RAID, databases, ROMS, etc.
- Restoration for all your valuable data such as Office applications, email, graphics, and sound & video from popular platforms like Windows, Linux/Unix, Solaris, Macintosh, and BSD.
- Development of a stable, consistent, and reliable data backup plan to include proper archiving, storage, and restoration procedures - so you don't have to call us in an emergency! Reference our data protection page.
