S. E. YEDEY PG Department of Computer Science & Technology, HVPM, Amravati, India [email protected] ABSTRACT: Data recovery is a process of recovering inaccessible data from corrupted or damaged secondary storage, removable media or files, when the data which is stored cannot be accessed in a simple way. The data is most often recovered from storage media such as internal or external hard disk drives, solid-state drives, USB flash drives, magnetic tapes, CDs, DVDs, RAID subsystems, and other electronic devices. Recovery is needed because of physical damage to the storage device or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host operating system. And to get recovery of get there are certain techniques used. So, in this paper we are discussing the various techniques of data recovery. Keywords: secondary storage, removable media, data recovery. 1. INTRODUCTION 2.2 Fragmentation Data recovery is the technique of restoring data that has When the FAT entry is lost during accidental file been lost, unfortunately deleted, corrupted or made deletion, formatting or partition deletion that particular inaccessible for any reason. The data recovery process may block of hard drive becomes inaccessible. Some data vary, depending on the circumstances of the data loss, the recovery software makes an attempt to rebuild the files data recovery software used to create the backup, and the without a FAT entry. This technique is very efficient if the backup target media. For example, many desktop and laptop file size is smaller than the clusters size. But it is inefficient backup software platforms allow end users to restore lost in recovery the larger files. files themselves, while restoration of a corrupted database from a tape backup is a more complicated process that 2.3 Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) requires IT intervention. Data recovery can also be provided as service. Such services are typically used to retrieve important files that were not backed up and accidentally A technique that is used to image and measure deleted from a computer's file system but still remain on surfaces at the atomic level. Scans an atomically sharp disk in fragments. probe over a surface which produces a 3D topographic image of the surface at the atomic scale. 2. DATA RECOVERY TECHNIQUES 2.4 MFM (Magnetic Force Microscopy) Now number of data recovery techniques has been proposed. Following are the few techniques to describe. Every file on a computer, even the deleted ones, is identified by a record in a table called the Master File Table or MFT. A files MFT record tells the computer the name of 2.1 Logical data recovery the file and also the location on the disk where the file is stored. Recover My Files reads these MFT records to find In this technique new clone drive has been created, and recover deleted or lost files. In some circumstances the it is suitable to attempt the retrieval of lost data. If the drive MFT records can become corrupt or destroyed. In this has failed logically, there are a number of reasons for situation Windows has no reference information to locate failure. Using the clone it may be possible to repair the the deleted or lost files, however, Recover My Files can partition table, Memory Buffer Register and Managed File look for and find user specified file types by scanning the Transfer in order to read the file system's data structure and storage media and looking for a files unique structure, that retrieve stored data.In a data loss situation when the hard is, it’s unique header, content and footer.

Overall, PhotoRec is a powerful tool for quickly and safely copying your deleted files to another disk. 3. DATA RECOVERY TOOLS 3.4 Restoration Today there are various data recovery tools available in market. We describe the some data recovery tools. Restoration is a tiny, no-frills, portable recovery software tool. It lacks some of the advanced functionality of 3.1 TestDisk other nominees but does have basic file-name search and the ability to sort by file parameters such as size and filename. TestDisk is a powerful open-source software tool Despite its tiny size, it performed just as well as the other for recovering your data. TestDisk recovers the file like nominees when tasked with restoring files from our test undeleted or accidentally deleted files from FAT, NTFS, disks. Restoration weighs in at a mere 406k and would and ext2 file systems. With the help of TestDisk you can make a great addition to any Windows-based USB toolkit. recover your boot sector from a backup, rebuild your boot sector, fix FAT tables, fix your MFT, locate the ext2/ext3 3.5 Undelete Plus backup SuperBlock, copy deleted files from partitions to recovery media, and find lost partitions in dozens of formats to help you locate your lost data. TestDisk is a command Undelete Plus used to be commercial software but line tool. has gone on a lengthy "limited time offer" freeware run. This file recovery app works on all versions of Windows and incarnations of the FAT and NTFS file systems. Like 3.2 Recuva Recuva, Undelete Plus assigns a recovery probability to files it finds based on how damaged the file is. You can sort files Recuva is a user-friendly Windows-based tool. by type, set filters based on time and size to avoid sifting When you run Recuva, you can resurrect missing files using through every deleted file on your disk, and keep folder either the file-recovery wizard or the application's manual structures intact when you perform your recovery. mode.

  • A Study of Hard Drive Forensics on Consumers' Pcs: Data
    A Study of Hard Drive Forensics on Consumers’ PCs: Data Recovery and Exploitation B. Dawn Medlin Appalachian State University Joseph A. Cazier Appalachian State University One of the first actions to take when getting rid of an old personal computer is to remove all of the files that contain identifying and personal information. Individuals can be surprisingly negligent in this effort. Many individuals may also believe that by simply moving their files to the recycle bin and then emptying that bin that all of their programs and files are permanently erased. If personal information is not totally deleted, acts of identity theft can easily occur. Our research study identified the types of information found and/or recovered from hard disk drives on computers that have been donated to charity, sold second-hand, or otherwise donated to other organizations for reuse. Of the fifty-five hard drives studied approximately 300,000 files contained identifiable information. Results showed the need for further training in relation to total file erasure from a hard drive as well as the negative results such as identity theft that can occur due to this lack of training or knowledge. INTRODUCTION Wiping a computer clean is not as easy as it may appear. Just deleting the personal files and emptying the recycle bin is essentially next to useless. The delete function only removes file names from a directory list and makes the sectors the files occupy on the hard drive available for future use. Meanwhile, these files actually continue to exist. To positively prevent data from recovery, disks can be removed from disk drives and broken up, or even ground to microscopic pieces.

  • LECTURE SCHEDULE 5 Operating System – Some Fundamental DOS
    LECTURE SCHEDULE 5 Operating System – Some Fundamental DOS Commands,Rules for naming files in DOS and Types of files Operating System Operating system is a set of software that controls and manages hardware and basic system operations for a computer. The operating system loads programs into the computer's memory, runs these programs, and manages peripherals like disks and printers. Example: Disk Operating System (DOS) Windows LINUX Mac UNIX Disk Operating System (DOS) • In the 1980s or early 1990s, the operating system that shipped with most PCs was a version of the Disk Operating System (DOS) created by Microsoft: MS-DOS. • MS-DOS is a disk-based, single-user, single-task and character based user interface (CUI) operating system. Goto MSDOS from Windows Operating System: Click Start Button Choose Program Choose Accessories Click Command Prompt as shown below: Or Click Start Button Choose Run Type cmd in the Open tab as shown below: Command Prompt will get displayed as shown: The DOS commands can be entered in the command prompt and executed. Some Examples of DOS commands DIR Command The dir command allows you to see the available files in the current and/or parent directories. Examples: 1. DIR Lists all files and directories in the directory that you are currently in. 2. dir /w If information on the date / time and other information on the files are not needed, then this command can be used to list just the files and directories going horizontally, taking as little as space needed. 3. dir /on List the files in alphabetical order by the names of the files.

  • Introduction: DOS (Disk Operating System) Is an Oldest Type of Operating System
    DOS (Disk Operating System) 1 Introduction: DOS (Disk Operating System) is an oldest type of Operating System. Disk Operating System is abbreviated as DOS. DOS is a CUI type of Operating System. In computer science, a generic term describing any operating system is system software which is loaded from disk devices when the system is started or rebooted. DOS is a single-tasking, single-user operating system with a command-line interface. DOS acts on commands. Because DOS is ready to perform when given proper command hence, it is also known as Command Prompt. Commands are certain words of English language or short form of English words. The meaning of these word or short form is already known to DOS. Since, DOS recognized these words and hence acts accordingly. These words and short forms of the English words are better known as commands. Internal Command:-Those commands which are already stored in the “Command.Com” file of DOS are known as internal commands. For example, CLS, VOL, TIME, DATE, COPY etc External Command:-Those commands which are not included in the command.com file of DOS rather included in other files of DOS are known as external commands. It is formatted according to programme. For example, TREE, FORMAT, MODE etc Some Internal Commands:- 1. CLS To clear the screen. \>cls 2. DIR To view the directory and files C:\>Dir 3. DATE To View and change the date C:\>Date Current date is: 01-01-2008 Enter new date (mm/dd/yy):21-03-2009 4. TIME To view and change the time.

Extensive utilisation of smartphones as subject, objects or tools of crime made them an important part of residual forensics. This chapter investigates the effectiveness of mobile forensic data recovery tools in recovering evidences from a Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 Android phone. We seek to determine the amount of data that could be recovered using Phone image carver, Access data FTK, Foremost, Diskdigger, and Recover My File forensic tools. The findings reflected the difference between recovery capacities of studied tools showing their suitability in their specialised contexts only. Keywords: Data recovery, digital forensics, deleted file recovery, mobile forensics, Android forensics. 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION Smart mobile devices, particularly smartphones, are increasingly popular in today’s Internet-connected society (1–4). For example, few years ago in 2010, shipments of smartphone grew by 74 percent to 295 million units (3,4). Unsurprisingly, sales of smartphones have been increasing since then (5,6), and it has been estimated that 1.5 billion smartphones will be sold by 2017 and 1 billion mobile subscribers by 2022 (7–15).
