Remote Data Recovery
Can the Remote Data Recovery be too risky for your data? The message is clear: Yes, it is risky and must be avoided for hard drives with vital information.
At first sight it seems to be a pretty good idea to recover data remotely, online – and get repaired or restored lost files on your server, desktop or laptop through an internet connection. But when it comes down to make a decision, ask yourself - is it safe to use remote data recovery help?
Software developers offer high-quality tools for controlling computer and connected device remotely, which, in all their obvious advantages, have a significant drawback: they do not take into account the physically malfunctioning devices such as a hard drive with a little growing scratch on the disk surface, or overheating component on circuit board or SSD memory chip.
For once, we are as professional data recovery do not provide such service, as well as do not recommend using one. There are a number of reasons for the failure of this approach, and here are a few of them explored in more depth.
While sending some basic servicing commands to control HDD remotely is quite feasible, this practice could put both device and data at risk of being completely obliterated. The remote operator may simply not be able recognize the subtle symptoms of pure mechanical deterioration, such as disk platter erosion and scratching. When it happens, the drive turns into uncontrollable self-destructing machine not responding on any commands, including stop, sleep, or power-off.
Developing Scratches on Hard Disk Platters
Concerns about using the remote recovery must be taken seriously. Although that technology is portrayed in the media as non-inflicting any harm to the physical device data recovery solution, in reality, a remote operating processes may destroy the hard drive exactly the same way as explained and illustrated in this article:
About Remote Diagnostic
Even a fast remote diagnostic can be harmful without knowing the true medium condition - meaning endangering the whole recovery process. Safe drive diagnostic is possible only in a real laboratory, done live by real (not virtual) specialists, with using real (not virtual) diagnostic instruments, and in clean room environment. This is the only recommended way for finding initial cause of data loss that specialists use to draw the decision what needs to be done step-by-step to solve the problem for every particular situation. Obviously, none of the above techniques could be possibly available and would be skipped in the remote data recovery methods.
The proper in-lab diagnostic by data recovery engineer prevents the already failed device from further damaging that can eventually lead to the permanent data loss. Only at stationary lab the device with data can be taken with a proper good care – with the professional hands, eyes and the right tools and equipment and that is not replaceable.
Why It Better Not Try
There is a striking similarity between the remote type of recovery methods and using of local data recovery software (installed on your computer). As well as administering of remote commands to local data device, locally installed disk utility and such software have same side-effects and risks.
