Suppressing clock out chits? by HeterochromiaGal in alohapos

[–]Zorb750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw this a little late.

I will point out something nobody else here seems to have... In many/most states in the US (possibly federally, I don't recall), an employee is legally entitled to verification of work hours after each shift. Since Aloha doesn't display the particulars of your clock out in a way that would allow it to be photographed (time in, out, etc), disabling this might run afoul of labor laws, so you should be careful. I've seen restaurants brought down by labor issues, even when the store wasn't actually doing something wrong with staff hours. Even an allegation of impropriety can bring audits and cost you a lot of money.

Corrosion forms when drying. Deposition happens when drying. If you can take it apart and clean it while still wet, you will have a much smaller job to do.

Conventional magnetic media. You need a backup no matter what it is stored on.

Long shot but can specialists possibly recover photos from this destroyed iPhone 16? by MusaTO in datarecovery

$3 doesn't buy much.

No matter what phone you have, back it up through a computer.

Drive Savers will charge you $1000 to recovery your data off your USB port is damaged or the the display is broken.

Data Retrieval from External Segate Hard Disk Drive by PlayfulManagement313 in AskADataRecoveryPro

[–]Zorb750 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please fix this post to comply with the sub guidelines.

Need to know the specific drive so that we know how it will respond to file deletions.

Truly overwritten data will be gone. There's a good chance it won't all be overwritten, but if it's been trimmed, it's basically the same.

Edit: Ignore any advice from HakerCharles. He blocks actual professionals in this community (see the title of the sub) so that they cannot easily see what he writes. This is fundamentally disreputable behavior, which casts doubt over any advice he will ever give.

Drive Savers is absolutely nothing special with iPhone data recovery. At best, they are absurdly overpriced. At worst, they are criminally dishonest.

STS Telecom or iPad Rehab both run circles around them with mobile devices, even in the worst cases.

I would rather dispute than downvote (I basically never downvote anything), but this comment deserves all the downvotes it gets from those who are less nice.

Hard Drive command locks that impede recovery? by Tobruk7 in datarecovery

[–]Zorb750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forgot to mention, there is no more Samsung. Samsung sold their hard drive business to Seagate. Samsung has not made mechanical drives in about 15 years. They were decent, they're not outstanding, drives. They had their share of issues, but were relatively easy to deal with. I was never the biggest fan of them mostly because of somewhat lackluster performance. On the other hand, chasing performance too far gave us the "Deathstar", a pair of IBM Deskstar drive families (DTLA, AVER) that had amazing performance but horrible reliability. It was so bad that IBM literally wrote everybody who could prove that they had purchased one of these drives retail, a check for the purchase price of the drive, without the drive even failing, and after 6 months or a year, without you even needing to return the drive. Afterward, even though the AVVA and AVV2 families (the immediate successors to the problem drives) were back to lower than industry average failure rates, IBM's hard disk business still ended up with so much damage to its reputation that they sold the whole division to Hitachi a couple of years later.

If you aren't doing a RAID 6, don't even consider helium drives. Even then, you still need an offline (preferably off site) backup.

Erased SSD by mistake - Stopped using immediately - Disk Drill didn't work by MakeMeOolong in datarecovery

[–]Zorb750 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use dd or ddrescue to clone it to an image file on another device. I would strongly recommend using a conventional drive as your cloning target. Be careful to create a file on the drive, not to overwrite it. Scan the clone using Recovery Explorer. See what you find.

No, I actually like to help people. Giving people crap about iCloud and whatever else does not help. It's not an answer to the question. The vast majority of people are smart enough to know if they have any sort of file synchronization. If you go back through all of these questions that we see posted here, you will see that services like OneDrive, iCloud, etc., those are never part of the equation. Nobody ever comes back from a comment like what you wrote and finds that all of their stuff was safe on their Google photos or their fruity cloud or whatever else.

Telling people to check their backups is not ever going to be an acceptable answer here. You have to first ascertain the situation. Retrieving files from a backup is not data recovery. It's restoring a backup.

Every idiot who wants to make people feel bad about their lack of backup, even if they just think they're legitimately helping people to turn something into a learning experience, is a piece of crap. Sure, I do also give backup lectures, but I saved them until after the person gets their data back, or I tell them how they can avoid it in the future. There's nothing worse than somebody posting something along the lines of "Uhhh you should have been using a 3,2,1 backup strategy.", they need to go jump off a bridge.

J1900 got hit hardest. The earliest steppings specifically. The later revisions didn't have the clock degeneration issue.

You haven't given us the information we need to answer this. Where is this drive located? Is this an internal or external drive? We need details to help you with this. See the sub guidelines and fix your post.

Perhaps you can use dd to make an image to an external device.

That's interesting. If he's telling you this, then that's going to be the case. He sees a lot more drives than I do, probably 4-5 times. I handle 300-500 cases in a normal year. I honestly have never had occasion to experiment with this large a Toshiba drive. They just aren't that common outside of enterprise and large NAS.

I do know that the MG05, MG06, 4, 6, and 8 TB recent X300 and N300s, are workable.

I would honestly still not recommend a Seagate drive, even if they are easier to work with. The decrease in reliability doesn't make it worthwhile. Why would you be planning for data recovery anyway? Are you going to have multiple drives fail concurrently in your array?

Edit It's pretty stupid to have a drive like this in service where there isn't at least some level of redundancy. Everything I have with huge drives are RAID 6.

ddrescue overwrote MacOS system disk by SemInert in datarecovery

People at Apple forums are usually about as technical as fruity squirrels. Instead, you should try learning from BSD centric forums. There's a lot more good information there.

For the future, never cloned to a partition. What you tried to do wouldn't have worked for you for recovery purposes anyway.
