Data Recovery Options Availabe for Mac users

Recovering data from Mac is no more panic. There are number of professional promising to provide hundred percent recovery from Mac hard drive. Only thing that is important is the time when you realize you need to recover data after deleting it from any Mac volume. If you have realized soon within minutes or before going to re-use the mac hard drive after deleting file from it than you are lucky enough and chances of getting cent percent recovery is very bright. But if you realize data loss after performing heavy operations on the drive the chances of getting whole data back become bit less and also expensive.

The first thought that came in human mind that Shit Man! How careless I am, I must have to take backup. But taking backup is not only the solution of this panic. However it could happen with a person who is very much sensitive in data backups. Are you sure about the person who always take data backup in the night before sleeping can never face data loss? NO not exactly. My point is that person could loss most recent data due to many reasons such as virus, accidental shut down etc. during any hour before 12 at night. I have some points to keep you away from this panic and that are:
 
Option 1 –
The fastest, easiest and of course cheapest way to recover files is from latest backup. For which I would always suggest to have incremental backup during every hour of the data (or any specific time according to importance of data). For this purpose time machine utility is provided in built with Mac OS X not only this there are many third party tool such as Stellar Shield is available for this purpose.
 
All these utilities will take image of data at particular point of time (set by user) and if data lost happened in any case it could be recoverable easily from this backup store. Best part of such backup is that it is automated so that there is no such fear if you forget to take backup you can meet data loss. You can get back your data without wasting much time.


Option 2-
Second option is – Mac Data recovery Software. These are basically “to do yourself” utilities that are smart enough to recover data if accidentally deleted from your Mac volume. This option is bit more costly than the first one and also time taken to recover data is more. The third party recovery software such as Stellar Phoenix mac data recovery software is well known name in this field.


The recovery of data from Mac is become so simple with easy to understand GUI that less technical or no technical person and work easily. If you are using Mac OS X Lion then you need to be little bit more conscious while going to buy Mac data recovery software because it could be possible that the software which you are going to order is Lion compatibility. However most of the product announced its compatibility with OS X Lion, Stellar Phoenix Mac data recovery software also announced & proved its compatibility with OS X Lion last week.


Option 3:
Contact expert
Mac data recovery software professionals. If your Mac is severely affected or not in use from so many days or worst is using hard drive for 2-3 months and then need recover the data. These are cases where chances of data recovery is not cent percent. This is also most expensive than option 1 and 2.
