Lost some data? Deleted a word document by accident? Hard drive crashed out on you? Don’t despair, there are file recovery specialists out there to assist you. Data recovery has been a branch of Information Technology that, until a few years ago, just didn’t exist. It was a void that needed to be filled, and fortunately there are now file recovery specialists in most major cities. Intratec was started up in South Africa in the year 2000 to fill such a void, and the company now has branches in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban.

Obviously the first thing you are going to do if one of the above happens is to try to correct the situation yourself, and in some cases this is possible. There is software available that enables you to look for and undelete files and data. Many people are quite capable of using it, but at the same time many are not. If you are uncertain of your abilities then the best thing to do is to call file recovery specialists such as Intratec. There are many reasons why data can be lost. Apart from the accidental deletion of a file by yourself (we’ve all done it at one time or another) the most common cause is a fluctuation in the power supply, or a complete cut in Power. Eskom’s power outages at the beginning of 2008 caused more grief because of lost data than they can ever afford to reimburse. File Recovery Specialists can be contacted at 086 727 7269
