Deleted Data Recovery Mechanism

Abstract

According to a survey, 90% of all information never leaves the digital form. The fundamental importance of data preservation is quite clear, as a small inattentive move could lead to a loss of pertinent data which could inform a major decision. The majority of information these days is being created, modified, and consumed entirely in digital form. This means most spreadsheets, digital snapshots and databases will never make it onto paper. It is common to lose data due to storage errors or low performance. If this happens, the user/owner may want to quickly recover the files if the data is really important and if it is possible to retrieve the lost data. In this article, we look at ways data can be lost through deletion, recovery procedures and mechanisms, and recommendations to secure data against such events.
