What can be defined as data recovery?

What constitutes data recovery? Is it simply rescuing data from a fried computer hard drive? Or is it the process of rebuilding a lost partition on a hard drive using the FAT32 system? What do we call it when we undelete files from a working PC? And if our iPod has lost a hundred dollars worth of tunes and we use a program to find them what is that? All of these things and more are data recovery. And amazingly the process to rescue all these different types of files stored on, as many different storage media is remarkably similar. The process for data recovery begins with out finding a targeted data recovery program built for file recovery on our device. For example digital cameras store files in what is called RAW format. A digital media file recovery program must be able to scan foe and rebuild the exact RAW file system used by a specific brand of camera. Better programs for data recovery such as those offered by Disk Doctors will actually support dozens of different file structures.

Data recovery programs for use on hard drives must be targeted for both the operating system used and the file structure of the OS. Windows PCs need a Windows data recovery program and Linux needs Linux, etc. In any case the first step for data recovery is to find a program that guarantees it can recovery lost of damaged files on you particular device.
