3D Data Recovery: remember the three "Ds"
Overview
There is more data you can recover from your client's drives. Let DeepSpar Data Recovery Systems show you the next dimension in data recovery.
DeepSpar Data Recovery Systems pioneered the 3D Data Recovery process - a professional approach to data recovery centred on three phases (listed below). DeepSpar has developed training materials, professional services, and industrial hard drive data recovery tools to deal with the challenges of all three phases.

Why 3D Data Recovery?
At DeepSpar, we felt that the data recovery industry was in need of a structured, multi-dimensional approach to drive restoration, disk imaging, and data retrieval. Many companies were claiming to do "full" data recovery, but were in fact only using software processes to gather the easiest layer of available data while leaving behind, or worse, destroying, data trapped at deeper levels. The DeepSpar 3D Data Recovery approach addresses drive-level, disk-level and data-level issues so that the maximum amount of data is retrieved.
A bottom-up approach
To DeepSpar Data Recovery Systems, traditional data recovery has often been done backwards – that is, starting from the wrong end.
Of all the phases, Phase III, data retrieval, is the most widely performed. But on its own, Phase III is a software process that can only be successful at getting the thinnest layer of data. According to DeepSpar experts only 20 to 30 percent of all data recovery cases can be addressed using Phase III techniques alone. Also, if Phase III tools are applied alone (without preceding phases such as disk imaging) the risk of losing user data increases significantly, which undermines any professional data recovery process.
Phase II, disk imaging, is also widely understood to be important. But usually it is done using tools designed for good disks, not the unstable ones that often come in for recovery. The time involved and the stress placed on disks because of traditional read-intensive methods can be self-defeating if the disk fails or produces no usable data.
Phase I, drive restoration, is critical for retrieving the deepest level of data from a damaged or faulty drive. Data recovery firms often do this work without proper tools, by simple trial and error, or not at all, meaning that they leave behind valuable data.
True 3D Data Recovery always starts with important hard drive data recovery tools including (but not limited to) diagnosis of the drive and repair if necessary, progresses to disk imaging, and then (and only then) does the actual retrieval of data begin.
