Critical data is that data a company cannot do business without. Most companies say that would be all the data. But "all the data" needs to be defined better. Backup plans generally copy all data but when restoration time comes there is always data that is critical to keeping the customer happy and this is the data that should be in recovery first. It may mean a particular department is returned to working order first, in the middle, or last. Knowing what order is important to the response of a hard drive data recovery need. Does the hard drive that has failed contain critical data?

Hard drive data recovery need not be complicated or full of panic as long as clear and decisive planning is in place. The personnel must know what this planning is and what their role in the response to a hard drive data recovery need is. They should be well versed and well trained.
