With the value of data and information increasing day by day, data loss has become the greatest menace to any size of businesses. If your business data center or the storage system have ever faced any type of data loss disaster, you might quickly realized how precious the data lost is. The conditions become worse, when you come to know how much it will cost you to hire a data recovery professional or go for other recovery solutions.

Following are some common tips that can help yo to avoid these scenarios:

• Replace the aged hard drives for a specified period of time. As the computer hardware gets old, chances of failure are increased. You should periodically check all your computer hard drives for problems. If the drive is facing any problem, immediately create a backup before the data become irretrievable.

• When you upgrade your system, make a clone of the old hard drive and place it to new one. Copying files to new hard drive is not an ideal way to go.

• Regularly run De-fragmentation on your computer hard drive. High disk fragmentation might lead to file system corruption and data loss.

• If your computer works improperly and you see strange error message, check your hard drive and file system for integrity and consistency. This is possible using chkdsk in Windows, Disk Utility in Mac OS X, VRepair in Novell and fsck in Linux and UNIX.

• If you hear any strange noises from your computer hard drive, unplug the computer and stop using it. Further use of your system might cause irreparable damage. You should never open a physically damaged hard drive in general environment. Dust particles available in the air might damage sensitive disk platters.

• If you are experiencing logical damage, never install any Data Recovery Software or other tools on hard drive and do not run disk repair utility. It might overwrite lost data and may it impossible to recover.
