Backup Data If Your SSD/HDD Has Signs Of Damage Using The Byte to Byte Method On The Disk Drill

Byte to Byte Process.

Data recovery is required because a disk suddenly fails due to an unforeseen physical reason. Excessive heat, human errors such as faulty registry settings, corrupt files, and firmware problems are other reasons your drive may be underperforming. If you think your hard drive may be malfunctioning, it is in your best interest to back it up to enable you to perform data recovery on it at a later point in time.

At this time, you need to employ the features of the Disk Drill data recovery tool that will enable you to preserve as much of your data as possible and put it into a format that you can use for data recovery. The first step in this process is to create a byte-to-byte disk image of the troubled disk.

Follow the steps below to creating and recovering from a disk image with disk drill :

  1. If you haven’t already done so, download and install Disk Drill on your computer.
  2. Start the program
  3. Select “Byte-to-byte Backup” from the “Extra Tools” menu in the left panel.
  4. Select the disk you need to back up and click the “Create backup” button.
  5. Choose a name and location for the DMG file to be saved at.
  6. Click “Save” and your backup will begin.
  7. The backup process can be paused and resumed anytime by clicking the corresponding button. If you paused the backup process and clicked “Back to disks list“, then in order to resume the backup of the disk image, select the disk you were backing up before from the list, click “Create backup” again and leave the settings the same. When asked, use the “Append” option to resume the backup from where it stopped the previous time.
  8. And the backup is complete

At this point you want to eject the original damaged disk that we just copied. After the disk is ejected, we now want to attach the recently created disk image.

  1. Choose “Storage devices” from the left panel in the “Data Recovery” menu and then select “Attach disk image…” at the very bottom of the app window. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the created DMG file to the Disk Drill window.
  2. Select the image file that was created earlier in the process. Click “Search for lost data” at the bottom right to begin the recovery process by scanning the disk image.
  3. When the scan is complete, click “Review found items” to see the results.
  4. Select the files that you want to recover from the disk image. click the “Recover” button in the top right of the screen.
  5. And the recovery is complete

That's the way to backup and recover data with byte to byte disk image disk drill.
