Data Recovery on NTFS file system
“NTFS” a file system that is used for saving the file record information. In this file system, the data is located in a systematic way for easy retrieval and access. This file system is feasible with windows 2000 and later versions.
If you are using NTFS file system and your hard drive crashed; data recovery is possible to restore data stored on it. Ideally if the file is unmanaged and not encrypted but mistakenly deleted, all one has to do is find it.
Data recovery method of NTFS file system is quite different from FAT, UFS, and any other file system. Techniques like cluster remapping and transaction logging are part of the NTFS system which is thus geared to automatically perform data recovery operations. Cluster remapping prevents data loss by automatically transferring the data from the clusters containing bad sectors to good clusters.
Transaction logging is another system used in NTFS where any operation that creates or modifies a file is logged as a transaction. Thus, either an operation is completed or it isn’t, because there are no incomplete transactions. This information is stored in a log file.
Thus, in data recovery operations on a NTFS disk, one can redo any transaction that is logged into this transaction log.
There is a wide range of data recovery software that can help you in restoring the data which was lost upon the crash. The data recovery software are different according to the system structure and type of data loss. These software are divided into various categories according to the file system used by the hard drive.
