Recovery of
Deleted Files
Forensic process to search for and recover deleted files on a media
-
If you lost some files (pictures, documents ...) on a computer PC, Mac, laptop, external hard disk drive or on a media such as USB Flash memory, SD memory card due to an action of "deletion" or because of a physical failure, do not try yourself to use any web free tool to recover the data with the risk to damage more the original source content. Better ask the assistance of a specialist from the beginning.​
-
To be able to perform efficiently a search for deleted data files and most important to first protect the original device or media containing the data, the forensic examiner will always first create a forensic image file of the original source media.
-
He will then work only with the forensic copy and never on the original device/media.
-
If necessary a second step of indexing process with dedicated forensic tools can be executed. But this will depend the request and the type of data loss.
-
Depending the objective and the request of the customer, the certified forensic computer examiner will decide about which forensic tool(s) is the most appropriate for the data processing and which search method(s) he will use to reach the objective of data recovery.
-
Even modern forensic tools can easily identify deleted files, it is sometimes mandatory to perform additional data carving process or more in-depth examination at the Hexadecimal level to recover the data.
==> Anyway, for this type of "data recovery" service if it is not possible for any reason to obtain the deleted files, even after processing and try, then WINDIFE will not charge the service because the result is not obtained.
