Windows data recovery and file recovery
Important notice:
- once found data lost, DO NOT do anything to the Computer or Harddisk, any Writing or Use operation can render data recovery impossible.
- 数据丢失,务必谨记的是不要对丢失数据所在分区进行操作,因为新的数据很可能覆盖丢失数据
- Never store important Data on C drive (or OS drive) if possible
- 重要数据不要放置到系统分区,因为系统分区的数据读写是最频繁的,非系统盘数据恢复起来比较容易和完整
- Never count on Data Recovery, best practise to protect data is making mutiple copies of backup on your portable usb drive, DVD, or online storage Before bad thing happens.
- 数据恢复仅仅是尽可能地还原数据,对于重要的数据,日常还是要备份多几份为妙
