Recovering Unrecoverable Data - The Need for Drive-Independent Data Recovery

innovation

On April 14, 2004, ActionFront Data Recovery Labs Inc. introduced the world to it's new SignalTrace™ technology and simultaneously released a white paper entitled "Recovering Unrecoverable Data - The Need for Drive-Independent Data Recovery" written by Charles H. Sobey, Chief Scientist of ChannelScience.

The white paper, commissioned by ActionFront, presents the most comprehensive overview of the data recovery industry's current methods and technologies ever published and calls for an independent data recovery trade association to be formed to certify data recovery companies and for companies to submit claims of recovery capabilities for independent review.

Mr. Sobey, an internationally respected authority on hard disk drive technology and data detection, provides a rare insight into data recovery practices and processes, explains the reasons some media are unrecoverable, and identifies the need for a new class of drive-independent data recovery techniques. He then proceeds to describe the new SignalTrace™ technology in some detail.

SignalTrace™ is the result of many years of research and development and a substantial investment of ActionFront resources. This new technology opens the possibility of recovering data from storage devices that currently cannot be recovered by anyone, anywhere, for any amount of time or money.

This first public demonstrations of ActionFront's new technology was provided on the exhibit floor of the 2004 NASA/IEEE Conference on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies (MSST04). A technical overview was presented at the work-in-progress session by Chuck Sobey, of ChannelScience, who assisted with the development of SignalTrace™.
