What is Data Recovery?

Recovering Files After Accidental Deletion

Data recovery is the process of retrieving files on a computer that were saved to the computer and are no longer accessible due to deletion, corruption, system failure, or physical damage to the hard drive or storage device and that do not have a proper backup system associated with them. The files must have been saved to the computer. Closing out of a typed file and not saving the changes will likely result in the typed information becoming non-recoverable. While some computers may need general hardware repair, such as replacing a power supply or fixing a motherboard to gain access to the files, this is not considered data recovery services unless the storage device itself is compromised. True recovery begins when files cannot be accessed through standard means and require specialized tools or lab services to extract. B2B I.T. Solutions distinguishes between hardware restoration and data recovery to ensure clients receive the right service for their situation.

Files deleted by mistake from desktop computers, server drives, or cloud-linked folders can often be retrieved using our specialized data recovery services. These situations are results of not having a professional backup solution and may result from mere accidental clicks, hacker intrusion, ransomware, hardware or other types of failures. B2B I.T. Solutions uses targeted recovery methods to locate and restore deleted or damaged files. Whether the loss occurred on a single device or across a shared network, the recovery process is handled with care.

All recovery efforts are performed exclusively by B2B I.T. Solutions’ highly trained technicians, ensuring it is unnecessary for clients to troubleshoot, disassemble hardware, or attempt any preliminary fixes while technicians have possession of the computer or storage device. From the moment a data recovery services request is initiated, the team manages every aspect of the process, including diagnostics, device handling, file extraction, and verification. This hands-off approach eliminates risk, prevents further damage, and ensures recovery is executed with precision. Clients can remain focused on business operations while our experts manage the technical complexities with professional oversight.

When files are recovered after accidental deletion or a catastrophic failure, keeping the original file names and folder layouts is a priority. B2B I.T. Solutions makes every effort to preserve this structure so that files appear organized once returned. As part of our expert data recovery services, we focus on maintaining file integrity and recognizable organization. In some cases, especially when the system is badly damaged, it may not be possible to retain all names or folders exactly as they were. In severe damage scenarios, recovery may only yield files without their names. In these rare instances, our recovery team creates a clear folder structure by grouping similar file types together, such as placing all PDF documents in one folder, all image files in another, and continuing this method for remaining formats.

Recovering Data from Physically Damaged Devices

When physical damage affects a hard drive, solid state drive (SSD), or flash storage device, also known as a thumb drive, successful recovery depends on understanding how data is structured and stored on those devices. B2B I.T. Solutions trains its recovery team to recognize how data is contained and accessed across different storage technologies. As part of our specialized data recovery services, the team applies proven methods to locate and extract critical information. While no company can guarantee complete recovery, our technicians are trained to identify recoverable data patterns and restore files with precision, minimizing loss. Whether the damage is due to impact, electrical failure, or wear, we approach each case with the expertise and care required to deliver the proper results or advice to our clients.

Malware infections, corrupted applications, and unexpected system shutdowns can damage files or make them inaccessible, but clean versions of those files often still exist within the system. Our technicians analyze the affected environment to locate intact copies, working carefully to avoid spreading malicious code or worsening the corruption. Recovery efforts focus on restoring usable data while minimizing risk to the surrounding system. B2B I.T. Solutions applies targeted data recovery services to retrieve critical information from compromised devices, helping clients regain access to important files without reintroducing instability or harmful software into their network or other computers.

When systems are compromised by malware or corruption, locating viable backups becomes essential to restoring clean, usable files. Our technicians identify safe versions stored locally or in connected environments, then remove damaged or infected copies to prevent further issues. Recovery is performed with caution to avoid reintroducing threats or instability. B2B I.T. Solutions provides secure data recovery services that prioritize safety and accuracy, ensuring restored files are free from contamination.
