Here at MediaRECOVER we routinely hear horror stories about customers mishandling their data.  Generally, it goes like this – we accidentally deleted x amount of pictures from our secure digital card and then took 125 new pictures.  Can we get the old pictures back? The answer is always a hopeful “maybe”.

The premise behind data recovery software is that once a file is deleted by a camera or computer the camera/computer sees the space occupied by the file as “empty”.  The picture data still occupies that space until a new picture is taken and fills that “empty” space.  Data recovery software can then go in at a low level and pull off that picture data from the “empty” space.

Therefore here are some tips that we hope everyone follows when using their secure digital media.

Tips

• Please backup!!
• After a data loss please, please, please stop using your secure digital card! This helps prevent further data loss.
• DO NOT write any files to the media.
• Use recovery software or send your secure digital card to an expert recovery service.
• Do not subject the secure digital card to extreme temperatures.

Bonus Tip

• X-Ray scans at airports do not damage media cards.
