Lessons learned - back up your data!
I read a blog post by Lee on search engine Viking which reminded me of the importance I back up your data. ? cannot stress enough, how important it is to make regular backup copies of important data. I have had a number of people experience problems with their computers and ask, if I recover something for them ? I victims might like problems with computers, and no back to had.
There are occasions when something goes wrong with your computer – for whatever reason- and just get the data back of it. ? Unfortunately this happens. ?, it is why we should back up!
I have however happy and want to have a couple of experiences to share when I was confronted, having no backup, recovery and a computer that does not work.
The first occasion was my own laptop. ? about 2 years ago, more than half way through my PhD research. ? happened I everything on my laptop. ? I wrote reports fact, kept research documents stored personal documents and various other items on my laptop. ? I really have it backed up should - or at least more regularly!? anyway, one day I shut down the laptop and I get an error message on the screen. ? I can not remember what it was from the top of my head - but it not pretty was ? several strong language later, I decided right, take it to a computer shop and see, what you can do. ?, so I'll leave it with the "experts" in. ? You plug it into your systems.
Sorry Sir, but we can connect to your hard disk drive. ? data recovery cannot be
Okay I thought. ? not there, anything can be done?? apparently not!? all I may so say to a new hard drive is to get anfangen.Schraube I thought,! and front? I had anything on this laptop, I wanted a second opinion.
So the next day I again was underway - chatting to a colleague about this situation I in found myself ? - he was very nice, but I got the usual banter you didn't save it?
Friend recommended a piece of software called Trinity rescue Kit. ? I had never heard before said ? so I gave it a whirl.
What does this "Kit" is essentially a version of Linux, your RAM. ? great stuff was to run it!
I burned it to a disk from another computer and put it into my laptop. ? started up. ? Hurrah, at least the CD drive works. ? the kit until ? loaded I plugged a real treat. in an external USB hard drive, and chose the option to load up and mount all hard drives.
I got used to from the library, and because the loan of book, Linux at a glance by Ellen Siever, that Linux commands.
The best of all, if I come to all understand this rescue software was managed, not only recognize my hard drive but actually. I felt a sudden lot of relief ? mounted. ?, I had to retrieve the data from the laptop.
Anyway, what I needed from the laptop to this phase that I was all the commands required. ? I knew able copy to the external hard disk drive. ?, there were only a few files lost due to corrupted hard disk to the Laptop.Ich white, I was happy! I was more than happy that the software worked!? I Trinity rescue kit have recommended a number of people about this.
I have also through been addressed some family members with their computer woes, and I did manage to recover your data.
