Data recovery Maryland, Washington DC & Virginia

In today’s world digital data is everywhere – on our computers, laptops, smart phones and other personal electronic devices.  And never before has there been a greater need to keep track, or in some cases, recover data that has been lost, stolen or intentionally erased or discarded.  That’s where we come in.  Prudential Associates is located in Rockville, Maryland and offers data recovery services for clients throughout Maryland, Washington, DC and Virginia. 

 

Our 7 simple steps to data recovery:

“Data recovery" refers to the process of recovering data from a hard drive, removable disk, or other type of electronic storage media (such as a backup tape drive, RAID array, server, database, flash memory, etc.) when the data is no longer accessible via normal means.   It may also include the recovery of files or data from software or disk data due to physical or logical damage.

 

Data recovery can be a simple process in certain cases.  But in other cases this process may require exhaustive, detailed work to recover the data.

 

However, any data recovery case typically involves the same general process for recovering the lost data:

 

• Evaluate the media and provide an initial determination of the extent of the damage, potential for recovery, and work involved to recover the data.

• Estimate how much work will be involved, how much data can be recovered, what steps will need to be taken to recover the data, and what the cost will be to recover the data.

• Mirror any data that may be accessible to safe location if the media in question is actually physically functional when it is received. Using this process increases the chances for a complete data recovery and preserves the original media in case further access is required.

• Repair any electrical or physical damage that may be preventing the media from accessing the data.

• Recover the data through "logical" (software) processes that work with the raw data on the disk or drive.

• Analyze the recovered data to be sure it is intact and usable, then provide a report of the results of the recovery (what data was recovered, what was the cause of the data loss, etc).

• Return the restored data on media of your choice as soon as possible.
