Most recovery programs work in a similar way. You need to select the disk where the lost files are located and let the program analyze the content of the disk. Then select the file you want to recover and provide a location where you want to save that file. Installing any software after data loss will increase the risk of the lost data being overwritten.

A recovery program installed now is good insurance for your data, so it may be worth while installing a data recovery program just in case! Even the best recovery software can’t guarantee 100% results.

Some parts of your files may have been overwritten, meaning that other data was saved to that location on your disk.

Earlier this month I had the misfortune of having one of my hard drives pack up on me. Actually it didn’t fail, but I had negligently allowed it to get full up. I first noticed a problem when my files started appearing in reverse alphabetical order in Explorer. Having been working with computers for the last twenty or thirty years I was able to remedy the situation myself, but it involved deleting a lot of programs that I didn’t need (oh how we accumulate useless programs!), repairing my operating system and then finding my address book and Outlook Express folders, all of which had gone missing.

Why am I telling this story? Just to illustrate how, even someone who has been working with computers for so long can become complacent. Check your hard drives regularly and if necessary get rid of some of the accumulated and never-used programs that are there.

Not everyone is honest, and computers, networks and the Internet are being abused by illegal activity every day. It has been predicted that at some time in the not too distant future we will be able to track every single move carried out by a computer. That day has not yet arrived, but we are able to do a lot in the way of computer forensics, particularly in tracing deleted files. We can carefully go into any system and establish whether data has been deliberately deleted or damaged. It is possible to look for specific information, and we have skilled experts who have been specifically trained to carry out this type of operation.

It’s very disheartening to lose important data. It’s something that has happened to most of us. People have been reduced to tears at the mere thought that their hard drive has crashed. But if it is something that has happened to you, take heart. It’s not the end of the world, though it may seem like it. Thanks to modern technology it’s possible to recover a crashed hard drive. All you need to do is to make a call to Intratec data recovery services, one of the companies that specialise in that sort of thing. It doesn’t matter how bad the situation may seem, there’s usually a way out. In fact it’s even possible to recover data from a hard drive that has been in a fire. With the right know-how and a little time they can retrieve your data for you.

If you know a little bit about computers, and you have the correct software, it is sometimes possible to recover deleted or corrupt files yourself. But most computer users, although being familiar with the software on their pc, are loath to start messing about with coded files, and rightly so. There are professional companies who specialise in the recovery of lost data, and because of their very nature, they are the best people to do the job. Intratec is a company that carries out file recovery every day. They have the experts to do the job for you. Whatever the type of data loss you have suffered – even if you’ve somehow managed to spill a coke over your laptop – they are the people to call.

In the biological world it can take thousands of years for a species to evolve and climb one rung up the evolutionary ladder. In the technological world, especially the world of computers, evolution seems to occur on a weekly basis. Technology advances at a rapid rate, which allows us to do more with it, which in turn leads to more advanced technology. As we continue to develop, and as data recovery methods evolve, it will soon be possible to reconstruct every move ever made on a computer, no matter how bad the damage. This is bad news for those who use their PCs for nefarious means, but for those of us trying to earn an honest living, it sounds like an outstanding safety net against data loss.

If you’ve lost some data or accidentally deleted a file you’ve been working on you may have reason to think that it’s the end of the world, but hang on – it isn’t. The age of the Internet has only been with us for a very short time, but technology that has anything to do with computers has been the world’s fastest growing industry over the last twenty years or so. In some cases, if you happen to know your way around computers, it may even be possible for you to fix the problem yourself, but in most cases you’re going to have to call in the data recovery experts to do the job for you. Either way, the job is going to be much easier if you are one of those people who makes regular backups of your work.

If you need to call in file recovery experts, there’s one company that stands out above all the others, and that is Intratec. Intratec was started in Cape Town in the year 2000 by the de Jager brothers, and business has been such that they have now opened another two branches, one in Johannesburg and the other in Durban. They have the hi tech equipment, the latest software and the know-how to be able to tackle every possible type of data loss. Data loss can occur from a variety of different reasons. It could be caused by a fluctuation of voltage (we don’t have the most efficient power supply in the world), by a virus or other malware attack or even a straight hardware failure. Either way you should call in Intratec, the file recovery experts.

A few days ago we had a major problem at work. One of the secretaries pressed the wrong button or something, and she accidentally deleted several very important files. Naturally her boss was more than a little upset and the secretary was soon reduced to tears. Fortunately there was someone in the office who knew a little about computers and hard drives and he advised us to get hold of some file recovery professionals. We did so, and within 24 hours she had all of her data back and a smile on her face. Apparently a hard drive can fail for any number of different reasons. It can happen when there is a large fluctuation in voltage, such as you may get in a thunderstorm or when you’re the victim of an Eskom “outage”. It could be a virus or even just a physical problem with an old hard drive, like the read head failing, or the motor giving up. Anyway, there are file recovery professionals there to assist.

If you happen to be based in Johannesburg, Durban or Cape Town, the best people to call – certainly the company I would recommend – is Intratec. They have been around since their inception in 2000, when the company was founded by a couple of brothers in Cape Town. They now have three branches open and are looking further afield. Intratec have all of the latest equipment and software to assist them in file recovery. These professionals even have a “clean room” – that’s a room that is kept under positive air pressure to prevent minute particles of dust that could affect normal data recovery. Professionals will tell you that hard drives have to be kept meticulously clean.

Many organizations, from schools and colleges to retailing giants rely on databases. Occasionally one of these organizations finds itself in the unenviable position of having a computer crash out on them. It happens, and will continue to happen until the human race has mastered the future art of quantum data storage – but that may be decades or even centuries into the future. In the meantime, unless the organization has its own data recovery expert, it means calling in the most handy file recovery company. Intratec is one such file recovery company. It started off in Cape Town in 2000 and now also has branches in Johannesburg and Durban.

Intratec is equipped with the very latest hi-tech tools and software specially designed for a file recovery company. They have a team of technicians at each of their three branches that are specially trained in data recovery. This file recovery company always maintains the very highest levels of customer service, a commitment that is shared by every one of its staff. When an organization contacts us to enquire about data recovery, we know that that particular customer is probably having a bad day – they wouldn’t be contacting us if it were a good one. Our staff are each committed into doing their level best to ensure that your data is recovered in the shortest possible time. At the same time, knowing that your data may be of a very sensitive nature, you are assured of our integrity at all times. For more information call us at 086 727 7269
