Bondi Beach, New South Wales28 experts in data recuperation near you

Information technology is a thriving sector of activity. The profession of computer scientist is highly sought after by both men and women. There are numerous studies and training programs, starting from high school up to specialized training centers and programs offered by major IT companies such as Microsoft, Apple, or Google. In the context of data recovery, training focuses on computer maintenance, including both hardware (physical components) and software (such as the file system). To be able to offer a data recovery service, a computer scientist must have at least a two-year technical degree (BTS) in computer science or service to organizations. They can then pursue a Bachelor of Technology in electronic engineering, computer science, and industrial technology (BAC+3), followed by a Master's degree in computer science at BAC+5 and potentially a specialized Master's degree in computer science at BAC+6. An engineering degree in computer science would be the ultimate qualification to have.

A data recovery specialist works with individuals, businesses, as well as government and non-government organizations to recover erased data of all types including damaged backups, deleted files, defective or damaged folders, corrupted NTFS partitions, and more. In order to recover data, videos, photos, music, and other files on Windows, Mac OS or other operating systems, the specialist may use a range of programs such as Recuva, Disk Drill, File Recovery, Backup Programm, Easy Drive Data Recovery, Get Data Back, Easy Recovery, CCleaner etc. These programs may be free or paid depending on the diagnosis and file type to be recovered. The recovery process involves several phases including repairing the media, performing a bit-to-bit copy of the content to avoid further damage, and recovering the data through software solutions. Next, the recovered files are repaired to ensure that they are not corrupted or unusable. The final step involves transferring the new data to a preferred storage device, though it is recommended that the data be stored on a new storage device.

The most common data recovery scenarios involve a malfunction of a storage device (memory card, hard drive, USB key...), a logical failure of storage devices (boot problem), a failure of the operating system (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Ubuntu...) such as a crash, accidental deletion, inadvertent formatting, or accidental damage. In most cases, the problem arises on a computer using a single storage device (RAID, IDE, NAS...) with a single partition (usually NTFS) and running on a single OS. Sometimes, one may not be able to find the files that were carefully placed in a folder or may have accidentally deleted many photos without going through the recycle bin, but directly with the shift and delete key combination. This can become bothersome, especially if they are important files and documents. While it is possible to a certain extent to use a file recovery software downloaded from the Internet to retrieve them, in some cases, this is not enough. Indeed, if it is a low-level formatting, a hardware problem with the hard disks, or a crash of the Windows or another operating system, the maneuver can become complicated, and only a professional will be able to solve the problem.

To find a computer specialist specializing in data recovery, one can turn to a directory such as StarOfService on which many professionals offer their services. Simply fill in the required fields to get in touch with specialists in restoring lost data in your region.

A lot of computer professionals and data recovery companies offer a free initial consultation that allows them to make their own diagnosis and estimate the cost of expenses. On average, the price of data restoration varies between €50 and €150 depending on the storage device (support): mechanical hard drive, SSD, SD card, USB key, iPad, smartphone, etc.

Being able to recover data, lost images, files accidentally deleted, mistakenly formatted folders and other information from damaged or malfunctioning devices is not given to everyone. To choose the right computer technician with the ability to fully recover precious information, certain criteria must be met. For instance, one could inquire about their experience in the field, the success rate of data restoration operations they’ve previously conducted or the software they use (whether it be free or paid software).

- Do you offer a free diagnosis for the data recovery operation? - How do you proceed to restore deleted files? - What is the overall success rate for recovering content from a removable device? - Is it possible to instantly recover all files?
