A Safer Way to Recover Damaged Partitions

   A Safer Way to Recover Damaged Partitions

          A secure approach to automatically recovering damaged drives and partitions

Repairing broken partitions is a dangerous business. Even if you utilize the greatest tools and are totally sure of what you are doing, you are still jeopardizing your data should something go wrong. Changes made to the damaged partition are irrevocable; it is just too simple to erase a crucial system structure that stores vital information about your disk, files, and data. Bottom line: It's good to backup before doing data recovery. But is this truly the best way to accomplish it?

 

There is another technique to accomplish data recovery that is much safer. There is no need to backup and restore during the recovery. Instead of producing a backup copy of faulty data, you may simply take a binary snapshot of the partition being repaired and attempt the recovery with varied settings as many times as you need on this image instead of the actual disk.

 

SoftAmbulance Partition Doctor (http://softambulance.com/) is one of a few data recovery applications that allow recovering a virtual image of a damaged hard disk instead of fixing the actual drive directly. The data recovery tool enables you to generate a binary image of the damaged hard disk and works with the binary image instead of the actual thing. A binary image is a huge file saved on another hard drive, CD, DVD, or other media. The process is comparable to producing an ISO image of a CD or DVD disc; however, SoftAmbulance Partition Doctor extends it to partitions or even full disks.

 

The hard disk copy may be virtual, but whatever data you save from it is for real. SoftAmbulance Partition Doctor can recover your files, documents, and other data from the binary image and place it on a healthy medium. After that, you can attempt to repair the broken system structures of the corrupted hard drive without incurring any danger at all. Any adjustments will be made to the simulated picture.

 

Don't rush the healing. Don't take the risk of losing or damaging your data. Create a virtual snapshot of the hard disk being repaired, and work on that snapshot instead of accessing the damaged hard drive. This approach maintains your original data and assures the maximum level of safety during the recovery process.
