Benefits of 64-bit Recovery Software

Data loss occurs for a variety of reasons. Eventually, most computer users will need to recover lost files. Data recovery can often be accomplished by a software solution. If the hard drive is not physically damaged, the data loss is usually a logical problem caused by corrupted files or accidental deletion.

Physical drive failure will demand the services of a data recovery service because the repair entails disassembly. Physical damage to a hard drive will require that the failed hard drive be taken to a drive recovery service like The Data Rescue Center since recoveries of this type require advanced tools, techniques, and training as well as a cleanroom environment where the drive may be safely opened if needed. This kind of recovery is not possible in the home of office. However, the computer user can often accomplish logical drive failure recovery.

Numerous factors contribute for logical drive failure and its accompanying data loss:





• Accidental deletion is a common reason for data loss. Checking the delete or recycle bin may located the file; additionally, file recovery software can often restore the file.





• File corruption of the data files and operating system can cause drive failure and data loss. Malware attacks from computer viruses and worms cause file corruption. The recovery program should be able to boot the computer without the operating system in this case.





• Improper shutdown of the computer can cause data loss and file corruption as well. Power loss is one reason for improper shutdown.

Many of the newer computers are powered by a 64-bit processor and controlled by a 64-bit operating system. Without getting technical, this arrangement allows the computer to run more efficiently, utilize more random access memory and multi-task better. This arrangement is increasingly more common in newer Macintosh computers.

64-bit Mac file recovery software, such as Data Rescue 3 – for Mac, are able to scan the hard drive more quickly and reduce the time needed for file restoration.

The main purpose of Data Rescue 3 is file recovery, not drive repair. This feature is extremely important because repairing the drive can often lead to further damage, rendering files unrecoverable. The list of file formats that Data Rescue 3 can recover natively is well over 150. The FileIQ feature enables the software to "learn" new file formats using samples supplied by the computer owner. Recovered files are placed on a separate drive, such as a second internal drive, external drive, or large capacity flash drive. Additionally, Data Rescue 3 can be used as an emergency boot disk, for restoration when the OS is not operable.
