You’ve Lost (or Recovered) Your Data. Now What?
⚠️ Another reminder that things can fail completely in an instant.
⚠️ What to do after a disk failure
Disk failures can happen suddenly and completely. A 4TB SATA disk failed, and despite attempts to salvage it, costly data recovery services turned out to be the only option. Back up regularly. Any backup is better than no backup at all. Use external drives, cloud services, or backup tools like Macrium Reflect or EaseUS Todo for automated backups.
