As you can imagine, Data Recovery Services engineers can do much better than the best recovery software. If there is a physical problem with the storage medium, they can often repair it to recover the data, or at least enough to “fill in” the missing or corrupted parts. It is also possible for them to use Data Recovery Services from spare or parity blocks to correct other types of damage.

Additionally, they can use Shadow Copies or other data fragments to reconstruct corrupted files. All these operations are, due to the lack of knowledge and adequate equipment, impossible to perform for an average user.

First, don’t panic! Try to stay calm and weigh your options carefully. 

In the event of Data Recovery Services corruption, it is wise to act according to a procedure plan comprising the following steps:

• Create a disk image containing the corrupted files, at the sector level. There are many free tools to do this. Then try to recover the data on the created image, and not on the disc ! It can be used later by experts in data recovery.
• After recovering your corrupt data, you can use a file repair tool to fix, for example, a corrupt MS Office file. There are many products available in the market. Make sure you get reputable, quality software that’s appropriate for your situation (but remember, only use such a tool on an image or copy of the drive). For database files, videos or photos, there are also tools, but the result is usually not perfect.
• Do not attempt to repair the corrupted file by fixing the source of the corruption directly on the drive. Also, do not use your operating system’s native tools to repair the disk. Using these tools will often cause more damage and prevent any further data recovery.
• If none of these steps work and you still need your data, it is more than recommended to contact an experienced professional.

In conclusion, when the lost data is very important, it is best to first contact Twitter data professionals such as Ontrack. Their experts will be able to tell you quickly if your data is recoverable or not. And with their in-depth knowledge of file and storage systems, they will be able to recover them in most situations using highly specialized tools.
