At Tierra Data Recovery we enjoy working with Mac hard drives. We have the technology to recover your critical Mac data and we carry out the data extraction procedure within a Mac environment, this is an important point as the standard Mac HFS+ file system allows for file names that a PC file system would simply not recognise.
Whatever the type of Mac you use we can help, our disk recovery procedures are conducted as follows:
1. We clone your hard drive (this of course may involve physical repair of the drive and or working around unreadable sectors on the drive). The cloning stage is essential because the subsequent analysis and extraction is an intensive procedure that will mean working the hard drive very hard indeed, something that simply can’t be risked with a failing drive.
2. The analysis of the clone is carried out involving multiple scans (looking for both file system entries and looking for raw file characteristics in order to maximise the data recovery).
3. The recovered data is then verified to confirm that it has been recovered intact before sample screen shots of the data and a file list is prepared for the client to evaluate.
4. If, on the basis of the information presented the client decides to proceed we will copy the recovered data to DVDs or external hard drive (depending upon the amount of data in the recovery) in encrypted form if required. We also at this stage invite the customer to request any screen shots of files that may be of particular interest to them.
We believe that this is how a recovery should be conducted and why we consider ourselves to be the people to come to if your Mac hard drive has failed.
