All You Need to Know About Recovering Deleted Files

There’s no need to say how important are computer to us nowadays because we all know it. It doesn’t matter if we want to see our last conversation from three years ago with that old friend or the contact details of our most important client, we depend on our virtual life. We can’t even imagine what life without broadband would be, not to mention without being able to access the files that we need. Nevertheless, data recovery and remote backup somehow slip out of our mind until something unfortunate and unexpected happens. The problem is that at that particular moment, we can’t even think what to do and start panicking.

However, remaining calm is the first think on the “to do” list when we have problems with our computers such as deleting important files or system fails and we can’t turn it on. The second one is to pick up the phone and call our must trustworthy friend – the good old IT company that’s always there to assist us. Does this ring a little alarm? Well, there are so many of us that haven’t even written a phone number of an IT company in our phonebooks. It’s high time to wake up and face the reality: disasters happen even if we don’t want them to. So, look for the best in town and give them a call just in case – you never know when you’ll need them.

If you accidentally deleted a file that you still needed, there are some things that you could do for data recovery. First of all, you need to know if you just sent them to Recycle bin by pressing only the delete button because this means you can get them back by clicking on Restore Recycle bin option from the toolbar. If you pressed Shift + Delete buttons together, that means you can’t access your deleted data anymore and that you need to consider other options like specialized help from an IT Support company or data recovery software. So, think it through and decide if you can fix the problem on your own or you need to use an IT company.

You need to consider many factors if you decide to fix the problem yourself. Think of your budget because data recovery software is a tad expensive even though it’s worth the money you pay for it. Also, doing the data recovery yourself involves risks as you may not follow all the steps or press the wrong button and lose the data you want to restore. If it’s important files we’re talking about, maybe it would be better to leave it on the certified consultants. However, using this kind of software is relatively easy especially if you do a little research before using it. It’s best to know the “how to” because when you’ll need to use it, it will be less stressful.

If hiring an IT Support company is the way you want to go, then start right away and look for the company that fits you and your needs. Check out the ones that provide non stop IT Support because if you need something at 3 am, you will want to give them a call and a friendly voice over at the other end might make things easier. Also, see if the IT company fits your budget, if it provides data recovery on the spot and a disaster recovery plan. You need all of them to keep your data safe and sound. The most important advantage of hiring and IT company is that you know for sure that your data is in good hands and it can be recovered effectively.

Well, it doesn’t sound so pretentious, does it? You just need to know some basic information about these IT services in order to use them properly and most of all, to benefit from them in time of need. Whether you decide to buy data recovery software and take the situation in your own hands or use specialized help provided by a good IT company, it’s important to take care of your data. Backup your data every day or every week and have two copies kept separately because you don’t know when you’ll need them. Preventing losing it is much easier than recover it so, be aware of the importance of your data.
