Math Calculations

Data recovery certainly was simpler in 1991 when Disk Doctors first opened their doors. Back then a good portion of the data recovery work was based on retrieval of files from soft floppy disks. With hard drives holding data in MB as opposed to GB, that need to recover data locked away in digital devices was just as acute, but the process to recover it was far more simple. The data recovery programs themselves were extremely simplistic. To begin with the use of a graphic user interface in a data recovery tool was unheard of. Data recovery tools were simple scripts operating from the DOS command line function. Of course the primary change is that focus is not placed on file recovery as opposed to strict disk data recovery.

Make no mistake hard drive data recovery remains the overall largest task in the area of data recovery. But, recovery of files from peripheral devices represents the greater need for the average end user. Perhaps this latter thought best shows the overall present status in the world of data recovery.
