Photo Recovery – An Overview 

Photo recovery is a process in which users restore lost photos and pictures from the corrupt/damaged storage media, be it internal or any external. Also, photo recovery is useful in a case of accidental deletion and after formatting the drive. It’s a part of data recovery, hence uses same recovery algorithm to recover deleted pictures from the storage media. Data loss is one of the most common problems faced by almost every single computer user. Loss of digital pictures and photos is also a common type of data loss. There are two most common reasons for data loss: accidental deletion and corruption.

Data Deletion 

Deletion is a process in which you delete some of your data accidentally or intentionally from the computer or any other storage device. If it’s a temporary deletion, the files will go to the Recycle Bin so you can easily restore them back. But, unluckily, if it’s a permanent deletion (Shift + Del + Enter), data recovery will become a tedious task for you. Accidental or intentional formatting of volumes, drives and other storage media which contain your images, photos, and pictures, can also cause data loss.

Corruption 

Corruption is another common reason for data loss, temporary as well as permanent. Generally, corruption occurs in the boot sector of the storage media and file systems and makes the files inaccessible. The possible reasons for corruption are hard disk failure, abruptly system shutdown, virus attacks, deleting system files, human errors, etc. Sometimes corruption can make your computer system inaccessible so you can’t open or access any of your files. Just like any other computer file, digital photos, pictures, and other images files are prone to corruption.

Both the reasons are included in the logical failure. Sometimes hardware failure may also result in data loss. It includes physical damage to the storage media, be it internal hard disk or an external storage media. Due to hardware failure, the computer fails to recognize the drive or card you’re inserting into it.

Have you lost images from the digital camera? 

A situation where you’ve lost images from the digital camera will definitely bring you to tears. Photos and pictures are truly valuable for everyone as they bring back the old memories. Loss of such photos and pictures is just unaffordable. Just think you go to a marriage party or a holiday tour. You take thousands of photos there from your digital camera. You see the pictures next day, they’re absolutely fine. But when the time comes to save them on your computer system, you just can’t. You find most of the photos and pictures are corrupt or gone. How would you deal with this situation? There might be any reason for this loss, but the result is always the same.

You’re lucky if you’re having backup..!

You must have seen data recovery experts and professional users always recommend to take backup. Why? What’s the real need for a backup file? How and why backup is useful for almost every single computer user? In these days, the terms backup and data protection have become synonymous. A backup file is just like a computer file containing data and information. It can store a very large amount of data which include everything, such as documents, emails, audios, videos, pictures, database, system files, archives, operating system files, etc. The primary function of a backup file is to provide users a medium through which they can restore their data at the time of data loss. Whatever type of data loss it is, you can take help of a backup file for data restoration.

A backup file plays the role of a lifesaver at the time of data loss. It helps you restore lost photos, pictures, and all other data which you’ve backed up earlier. You can take backup of your computer data with the help of NTBackup utility, a freeware tool provided by Microsoft. Also, you can try few commercialware tools which can provide more benefits. You can only restore your data from the backup file if it’s in a valid state, i.e. not corrupt. If the backup file is corrupt, neither you can open it nor can you restore anything from it. Being a computer file, backup is not immune to corruption. There are numerous reasons which are highly responsible for corruption in BKF files.

Why should you update backup? 

There are three types of backup: full backup, incremental backup, and differential backup. In these days, incremental backup is quite popular among users. To restore maximum possible data from backup, you must update it regularly. Why? Just consider this scenario:

You took backup of your computer system into an external storage media a couple of weeks ago. Since then, you’ve been adding more and more data to your computer. Whenever you add new data, you should update the backup file so that you can restore maximum possible data from it. For example, when you took a backup, the total size of your data was 100 GB. After a week, you added 50 GB more data. And again in this week, you added more 50 GB data. Yesterday, you faced data loss situation due to any reason, be it accidental deletion or corruption. You can use the backup stored in your external storage media to restore your lost data. If you took backup two weeks ago and didn’t update it, you can only restore 100 GB of data.

I hope you understand what I’m trying to say here. If you add more and more data regularly, don’t forget to update the backup file. Since data loss situation can take place at any time, you should always be ready with a valid and updated backup.
