Is it Possible To Recover Deleted or Formatted Data?

Leave a reply

Data recovery is possible in almost all instances when you think you have permanently lost your data. It does not matter whether the device containing the data has been reformatted, there is a good chance it is possible to recover the data using advanced tools that are not available readily to the public. These tools are also usually extremely expensive.

However, there is one instance where the deleted or reformatted data is not retrievable. This is in the unfortunate case when you overwrite data on the device. There is some debate among some computer scientists who claim that it is possible to recover data, even the old data when new data has been overwritten on the device. This may be possible theoretically, but practically once you have overwritten data there is no way of recovering the old data. There are no tools available to us today that makes this physically possible.
