How does FinalData work?

Logic to save data on Microsoft® Windows® and type of data lost
Recovery Methodology of FinalData
 |
FinalData scans a data sector directly; an operating system does not. So FinalData can recover data
lost by FDISK, format, delete, or virus, as long as the data is not overwritten. It's data recovery at
your fingertips.
This picture shows a simple example with the file system of Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/Me. EXT2 (Linux),
UFS (Sun, FreeBSD), JFS (AIX), HP_UX (UFS, HFS), and NTFS (Microsoft® Windows NT®) have similar file systems
and are recovered in a similar fashion. |

Risks of waiting for an incident
Only data that is not overwritten may be recovered. But controlling access to clients (Microsoft® Windows®, Microsoft® Internet Explorer, etc.)
in the aftermath of a data loss can be difficult. In many cases, simply using Internet Explorer creates a temporary file
which may overwrite deleted data.
Effects of waiting on recovery
In the Internet Explorer/temporary file example, the following problems are expected-even if data is recovered.
- File name not recovered
- File does not open in application
- Fragmented file is difficult to recover
- Long running time in recovery
- Low recovery rate

FinalData Location
The administrator raises the recovery rate by controlling delete detection or inode backup in the
server system.
In the case of data loss, the server sends a rescue signal from the FinalData-equipped PC. The administrator then remote-connects to the server, scans the disk, and recovers data using the installed program.
