Linux Data Backup And Recovery: Sympathetic And Thoughtful Subject

By David Faulkner
Material blemish Of Peripherals and hard disk damages show cryptogram of file corruption before affecting the raw data. Upon knowing the sign of hard disk failure, it is important to make back-ups to avoid losing current and past data. Accidents and inescapable conditions can also cause tangential damages in a PC, which can lead to data loss.

Overheating of the CPU can lead to chain reaction and shut of the computer. Constant crashing without proper shutting down procedure is one of the harshest of data destroyer. Usually the current file being worked on before the big crash happened is the one rendered useless afterwards. Virus Attack on computer intruders will not give computers any benefit. Virus is always created to destroy data. By installing an effective anti-virus, this problem can be avoided or can be resolved easier than not having one. Careless downloading of any freebies in the Internet is harmful. It is important to understand how ad wares can harm your local file in just one click. Virus propagators in the net are using advertising tools to gain access remotely to any private data.

On the onset of viral attack, do not do anything in the computer or leave it on any further. The more it is left functioning, the more the virus will spread and destroy the system. If you suspect your PC has been attacked, give it an instant cold boot. Do not use it unless the purpose is data recovery and diagnostics.

What to Glance For When Shopping For Data Recovery and Backup:

There's an old saying, "you get what you pay for." In most cases this is true. However, just because a company with a fancy website quotes you $3,500 for data recovery, does not mean that they are any better than a company that quotes you $1,500. Also, try to stay away from companies that want to charge $50-$300 for evaluating your drive. There has been a movement in the data recovery industry over the last couple of years to offer a number of free services. Most reputable data recovery companies will evaluate standard IDE drives free of charge; so don't let the word "free" this or "free" that stop you. The data recovery market is quickly becoming saturated, and a company does not necessarily cheapen itself or lack expertise by offering free evaluations.

Additional Factors:

You will find as you shop around for data recovery that prices vary greatly. You will get quotes that range from $300 to $5,000 for standard hard drive recoveries. It's not uncommon to literally get quotes that have at least a $1,500 high/low spread. We shopped one prominent data recovery company where we gave them specific indicators of a physical hard drive failure. Many times this is a bait and switch type tactic. Since most customers won't go through the pain of having the drive sent back, only to have to send it out to another company, these bait and switch companies end up making huge profits off of unsuspecting customers.

Windows Vista, To Upgrade or not?

By Shane Goll Since the release of Windows Vista many people have been arguing over its positives and negatives, and whether to make the "upgrade" or stay on Windows XP. I've been reading a lot about the pros and cons of Vista lately, and when I first made the switch on my laptop I really did not realize how many flaws Vista has in it, now through some rather disappointing experiences I do. Vista without a doubt looks pretty with Microsoft's new sleek interface "Aero" running on it out of the box, but it comes with a price. It requires both 1GB RAM and a 128mb graphics card to be installed. This really isn't a concern to those who have recently bought a computer within the last year, possibly two, but for the rest of us this with 3+ year old computers we're better off buying a whole new system with Vista preloaded than upgrading our computer and then buying the upgrade. Windows Vista is truly a resource hog compared to XP which requires

Ten Commandments of Maintaining your Computer

Ten tips to keep your computer running smoothly: 1. Never, never, turn your computer off with the power switch until Windows has shut down. The one exception to this rule is when your computer locks up and your hard drive is not running (hard drive light is not blinking). In this situation, you can turn the power off without harmful effects to the hard drive. As cutting the power can also result in lost data or Windows files, you should only do this when you have to. Following this rule will prevent permanent hard drive defects caused by the hard drive heads contacting the surface of the drive disc, and it will prevent a host of Windows problems. Whenever possible, recover from crashes by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys at the same time. Press them again to reboot your computer. 2. I highly recommend that you purchase an UPS (uninteruptable power supply) for your computer. This will keep your computer from crashing during power outages, and will protect your computer from low and
