Wondershare Data Recovery

The hard drive is extremely hard to “break into” to view the contents. There is no real easy way to access the information and the investigative options then become very limited.

It’s important to backup your information onto another computer and a usb because if you loose your work in anyway then your going to have to do it again

Jayne has requested a external hard drive because she works with large files such as videos of high quality, therefore she needs a external hard drive for storage and back up of videos or files if ever it crashes on the computer system.

Two weeks ago, Omega experienced a significant loss of proprietary data (estimated value $550,000.00) that was stored electronically in an Oracle database in their main office in Reston. The data was unrecoverable and backups were not being routinely maintained, so no restoration was possible. Although he has no hard evidence, Omega’s CTO believes that the loss resulted from deliberate deletion of files by a systems administrator from the

6. Start typing 'restore files' in the search field and click on the option called 'Restore your files with File History'.

External hard drives including USB sticks, can be used to store your documents/files and access them wherever as you should be able to plug in your USB to any device and open up your files. They are useful for backing up data and are always handy to keep.

I would inform the employee that I can recover the files and the employee would need to fill out a form letting me know the exact names of the files missing. The first step in data recovery is to question the client. It is important to find out what operating system the employee is using and if it was a laptop or a desktop. By asking what programs/applications the

Digital crime has been on the increase due to the increasing use of computer and internet. This has led the investigators with another method of fighting this crime. This is Computer Forensics, a process of going into computer hard drive and capturing basic information the user believed it has been erased.

Thanks for sharing this information. To add more, it is important to know that shellbags are known for maintaining the size, view, position, and icon of folders when using windows explorer. These are very valuable keys that investigators can use during evidence examination. As you mentioned, information is kept in place even after it has been removed, which means that past mounted volumes can be enumerated, as well as user actions, and deleted files.

Just as other forms of evidence, digital evidence must be assured not to get wet, stepped on, driven over, and frozen and so on. Magnetic media of all sorts can be fragile and if not handled with care can be wiped out. this is why officers should take special care to handle the evidence and package it accordingly as not doing so would cost them a case. Third issue that can also affect digital data if not done properly is the turning off or powering down a device. Computers store information on the RAM system which can be erased if not closed properly. As well the computer may have applications, documents, images, or any other data may have been left opened by the user can be erased if the computer is turned off. It is best that the investigator not to commit any action when dealing with an computer such as clicking the mouse, clicking on any files, using the keyboard, or apply any software to the suspects computer

There is hope. In this article you will discover the wonderful joys of data recovery and how it may be able to help you recover your data, tips on protecting your information should this ever happen to you and preventative measures for protecting your valuable information.

I backed up the folder on my memory stick. This is because if my original folder was corrupted of deleted I would have a copy. Not only would I lose all of my work data if I didn’t back it up, but I have to under the data protection act. This means that clients and employees personal information is backed up and is not lost. This would mean that if there personal information was stolen then I would be able to restore it.

Digital forensics is an ever changing field and the number of examinations being performed by digital forensic laboratories is constantly growing. Because investigations often rely on the results of these examinations, particularly those cases built on the digital evidence, investigators need to be able to provide results as soon as it is possible. To meet the growing demand and customer needs, ongoing research and development is needed in the creation of tools that will increase efficiency of digital forensic examinations. To improve efficiency and effectiveness in forensic processes, investigators should concentrate on specific areas including preparation and preservation, extraction and storage, examination and reporting, sharing, correlating

Specialist will used a bit-stream to retrieve certain evidence on the subject’s computer without damaging or contaminating it. An online article called CCF described that, “A bit-stream image is actually a set of files that can be used to create an exact copy of a hard drive, preserving all latent data in addition to the files and directory structures. A bit-stream image can be read by the majority of the tools used by the Center for Computer Forensics to analyze the hard drive such as Encase, FTK, ProDiscover and many others (CCF,

There are many tools used to try and find data that has been removed from a disk but none of these tools are able to recover data from devices that have been sanitized. The reason for this is that the data contained in the file is overwritten thus making it unrecoverable. Tools such as encase (proprietary) and diskdigger(free) are able to recover files that have been deleted using the normal delete function with encase building up a complete image of the disk and contains much more information that can be used to see how many times anti-forensic tools were run (if installed) because of prefetch files. Diskdigger on the other hand just recovers files that have been deleted and allows them to be restored. There are many tools designed to securely erase data from a hard disk or just to remove a file. These tools include ccleaner, HDD erase and many more. These tools allow for either files to be delete individually by overwriting the space they take up or overwriting all the free space on the drive to remove any traces that files existed on the device. They overwrite the data and contain many different algorithms that offer
