Loosing the important data is always unfortunate no matter it is deleted accidentally or unknowingly! No matter which OS you are using, no matter at what designation you are working, data loss is always worst thing could ever happen to anyone. Surveys says out of the total, maximum cases of data loss is seen due to human mistake but defiantly that does not mean data could not loose by any other way!
Keeping all this in mind Mac developers designed an user friendly operating system and made it so robust that it can handle many of such cases itself. But still, we can not deny the fact that all files are not completely safe in the Mac drive, they are also prone to get lost due to various other reasons. True, data could be lost due to various reasons and worst is they may vary from accidental deletion, file system corruption, bad sector generation, to some physical damage in Mac hard drive. File system corruption is one of the frequently occurred damage that may make mac files inaccessible. Some of the file system errors are:
- Error - Not a Macintosh disk
- Error - Cannot access because a disk error occurred
- Error - Bad master directory block.
- Error - This disk is unreadable by this computer. Do you want to initialize the disk
- Error - Drive not installed.
- Error - Error - The disk cannot be accessed because a disk error occurred.
- Error - Bad file name.
- Error - Segment Loader Error.
- Error - Directory not found.
- Error - No such volume
- Error - Not an HFS volume
Due to this simple reason, taking proper backup of all of the important data is always suggested. Mac owners themselves added feature of automatic backup with Mac to give to perfect Mac experience.
But there are situations when even the backup fails and we are left with nothing but to use mac file recovery utility to get those files back. No doubt reliable Mac file recovery software can work the best in case of valuable data loss, but if data is important up to that extend that it can effect your financial or social status then creating replica is always a nice idea. Therefore, all these thoughts make experts to suggest hard disk cloning. A hard disk cloning is the technique of making exact replica of entire hard drive or logical volumes. This process includes transfer of data of one hard drive to another disk. Thus, the cloned copy of the hard drive should be saved at the safer location and can be used at any time to restore the lost data. But, in order to clone a drive we need another drive with same or higher capacity.
