What Causes Data Loss? Slack space on hard drive media would be described as unused cluster within the file structure and hard drive geometry, as most file systems are not very efficient at saving data economically, a waste segments of space resides on the media, very often critical data, your information, could be located at these scattered locations within the hard drive which could be described as data loss to the computer user.
Much information can re recovered from such slack space within a hard drive, and can be particularly the case when the hard drive has been formatted and reloaded with a new file system and operating system as this procedure can leave remants of data residing within the media.
Xytron have observed data sets from slack space which chronologically precede the purchase of the equipment, in other words the product, at least the hard drive had previous use before you received the equipment, much can be gleaned from data loss, and very often this type of data can be used to ascertain forensic evidence.
Please note: The most important procedure to follow when presented with a data loss scenario or situation is to safely switch of the hard drive, do not restart the equipment, or attempt to recover the data your self, you may damage your chances of recovery significantly.
Free or software programmes which can be downloaded from the internet will not help you, please do not experiment with your data, very often there is a finite amount of time before the media will fail catastrophically, which will render your hard drive unrecoverable or compound the data loss situation further.
How to avoid data loss
Xytron offer best practice to avoid data loss such as external hard drive to store the data
Smartmedia such as USB pens can also be used to create further backups of your data as two or three forms of storage media are simply more realible than a single hard drive.
Allow for adequate cooling via a hard drive cooling kit which can be fitted to all internal hard drives for laptop users a kit can be purchased which the laptop computer is placed on which directs cooling directly to the hard drive.
power cycling which is created by mains electricity fluctuations such as spikes and drop outs can seriously effect the hard drive so Xytron suggests a UPS system.
Data loss can be avoided if the above procedures are put in place and are tested on a regular basis to check if they are working correctly as Xytron have noted that when clients have checked their backup they discover that the data is of no use or has backed up incorrect data.
Studies have shown that a significant factor in data loss is user error to avoid this please ensure that all staff and computer users are trained and have such knowledge as email virus and unusual symptoms exhibited from the media such as clicking or noisy and are able to directly contact the IT department.
