This blog highlights issues in recovering data from various storage devices. We explore opportunities provided by our data recovery algorithms and offer useful tips to prevent data loss. Follow us in social networks and recommend our materials to your friends.
In macOS, DMG, Sparseimage, and Sparsebundle disk images are often used to protect personal files, backups, and work data. However, encryption does not protect information from accidental deletion, drive formatting, image corruption caused by a system crash, or a sudden computer shutdown. Data can also be lost due to a faulty HDD, SSD, USB drive, or memory card, as well as due to errors during file copying or transfer.

Read about how to recover data from an APFS drive if it does not open in Windows, was encrypted in macOS, was formatted, or its partitions no longer appear in the system. We will look at how to access such a volume, unlock it if the correct password is available, browse the drive contents, and find deleted files if they have not yet been overwritten.

Read about how to recover data and restore the operation of Hyper-V virtual machines in Windows Server 2022. The need for recovery often arises due to accidental file deletion in Disk Management, failures of the host operating system, server hardware errors, or logical corruption of the volume containing VHDX files. We will examine in detail the process of automatic search for deleted virtual disks, checkpoints, and reliable recovery of all information.

Deleting files from an EXT4 partition does not always mean they are lost permanently. However, data recovery becomes more complex if they were encrypted with fscrypt. This file-system-level encryption mechanism protects the contents of files and directories, so standard recovery methods may not produce the expected result. In this article, we will examine how fscrypt data is stored and encrypted in EXT4, what happens to files after deletion, and which methods can be used to locate and recover them.

In this article, we will examine the features of working with VeraCrypt encrypted volumes and show methods for recovering information stored in file containers, protected partitions, and encrypted data media. We will explain how VeraCrypt containers, encrypted flash drives, and disks work, and clarify the purpose of the password, PIM, and keyfile used to access protected data.
