Have you been here before? You have been working on a really sensitive project at work and your not very comfortable storing the files on your work server even although there is file security in place. The information is just too sensitive to risk anybody accessing it and your manager has also instructed you to save it to a external disk and nowhere else.
You arrive at work the next morning to begin work the critical file is missing along with several other related files. This sort of behaviour can manifest itself if your hard disk is degrading maybe due to heat or even because of its age. Sometimes IT departments will use older hard drives and put them into caddies to use as external storage, which on the face of things is a great idea. Problem is though the drive is still old and caddies don’t always have the best airflow so the combination of an older drive and the hotter conditions van cause drive degradation.
Don’t worry though as the files are more than likely still intact. Simply avoid writing any further files to the disk and contact your local data recovery company who will be experienced in recovering data from degraded drives.

When you are dealing with an unexpected data loss of within a company the effect and severity of the data loss will of course depend on a number of factors, these being which system has failed, what data has been lost, how many employees are accessing the data on a hourly basis.
If the business has had the forethought to put a disaster recovery plan in place then this can be quickly be implemented to get your business into action but if you do not have one, or have completed you business continuity plan but have simply not implemented yet then the effect of the data loss can be quite far reaching.
The net effect of a data loss emergency can simply cost thousands and for large corporations tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands. The actual cost will course depend on the type of business involved and costs can be both tangible or intangible for example: the cost of lost sales can be easily measured by comparing a previous days trading.
As well as the tangible costs intangible costs also need to be considered which could include the loss of potential clients or business credibility, the management overhead needed to get the business back on line again and the cost of manual data entry from paper records (if they are held) to populate the database once it has been restored or the server has been re-built.
Another critical factor that should never be overlooked in the event of a data emergency is the restoration of the data. In many cases data can be irrecovably lost due to bungled attempts at recovery by inexperienced IT technicians.
