Iomega's Data Recovery Process for Zip Disk Data and other Removable Media

Initial diagnosis during our free evaluation determines whether the media is accessible to our lab equipment. If so, the first priority is to create a raw image of the data onto new media so that logical analysis can determine the nature of the data loss situation.
Logical recovery uses the raw image by examining the low-level data sectors and determining what fixes to filesystem structures are needed to get access to the important data. Sometimes the existing filesystem structures are missing or damaged so much that data has to be extracted directly from one or more fragments of the raw image.
Our specialists use patented, proprietary software data recovery tools and techniques to analyze and fix problems on removable media. Many of these problems cannot be repaired by any other Data Recovery processes. Once errors have been corrected and data has been recovered, our specialists will strategically examine the data recovered to check data validity.
