Unless You Backup Your Laptop Computer Data, You're Lost!

I read yesterday an article of Ezinearticles speaking about a man whose hard disc had crashed.

He directly contacted a data recovery company, and has to decided to make a deal with the first arrival. This guy entrusted its hard disk to this company and they ensured to him that its data would be recovered, for 1500$ only...

The agreed day it comes to recover its hard disk and it is announced to him that recovery failed, it was analyzed by a specialist but for an unknown reason, that failed.

It found another specialist and this one announces to him that the analysis of its disc was not made in clean room(remember hard disks are extremely fragile and sensitive to any kind of dust, air, or environmental contamination).

Its disc was contaminated and that produced a head crash which irremediably destroyed the magnetic coating which contained the data.

Its disc was definitively lost, terrifying not? That could have arrived to you too, are you ready? Are you protected?

There are many companies that offer data recovery services, but this story shows that only the reputed companies could make effective data recovery.

Taking into consideration all that my opinion is that the most economic solution in money, time and emotions is to make regular backup, you could done a weekly full backup, or daily backup with the incremental or differential backup, so when a disaster arrives you just have to resume your work with your last backup, et voila!
