data recovery
Salvaging lost information
Data recovery is the process of retrieving lost, corrupted, or inaccessible data from storage media—hard drives, flash drives, phones, or servers.
Data may be lost through hardware failure, accidental deletion, malware, or physical damage.
Recovery ranges from simple software solutions to specialized services that extract data from damaged devices: The data recovery specialist saved everything from my crashed laptop.
