Data Recovery is the process in which engineers salvage and extract data from hard disk drives and other storage media corrupted by a wide array of mechanical and human error. The loss of data could either be due to a logical or physical drive malfunction.

    The causes of data loss are as unique, numerous, complex and varied as computer users themselves. Natural disasters, viruses, employee sabotage and Electro-magnetic failures are some of the more common causes of a data loss crisis.
