Press Release Summary = Common hard drive and data recovery disasters include mechanical hard drive failures, platter damage from a head crash, deleted files and partitions, disk reformatting, file overwrites, physical damage from fire or flood, electrostatic discharge failure, software corruption, virus contamination and the blue screen of death.
Press Release Body = Today, http://www.data-recovery-hard-disk.info has announced the release of it\'s unique online
information service that provides visitors with continuous updates on data recovery needs. Accessible
24/7, DRHD provides detailed information from the beginning of the recovery process all the way
through completion.
The website highlights the problem of data loss and recovery for small-to mid-sized organisations.
\"We understand that in every data loss situation, there is a real person plagued with fears of irreparable
data loss and related consequences,\" said Ted Handle, webmaster.
\"The more information we can provide to people on data recovery, the better they can plan for the
outcome\".
DRHD is designed to put peoples\' mind at ease by providing a convenient and easy-to-use web-based
tool to access comprehensive information about data recovery whenever they need it.
Severe weather, malicious cyber attacks, terrorism and plain old hardware failure mean data loss is a
real possibility for anyone using digital technology.
Handle says data can be recovered from computers, servers and even memory cards used in digital
devices and notes that 78 per cent of failure is from hardware and 22 per cent from human error.
\"Individuals and companies can avoid the hassle and stress this can cause by backing up data on a
regular basis and establishing a relationship with a professional data recovery company before disaster
strikes,\" he says.
While many businesses have a documented disaster recovery plan, many do not take into account the
possibility that existing methods of backup may not result in 100 percent data recovery. According to a
recent survey, 34 percent of companies fail to test their backups, and of those that do, 77 percent have
found back-up failures.
Mr Handle also highlights some amusing data disasters: a woman dropped a five-kilogram piece of clay
pottery onto her laptop, which contained a book she had been working on for five years and a
genealogy chart tracking 150 years - still to be printed. Then there was the dog that used a memory
stick as a chew toy.
