What is the best way to do this? This will be my first time.

    Do what - data recovery?
    1) Find your backup data
    2) Restore it to your live environment
    3) profit

    Hopefully, there is a documented procedure for how to do it in your specific environment. ;)

    I use Hiren's disc, which you can download, I think Acronis recovery is on it. It works pretty good. OR if you have a lot of funds, DriveSavers is something I have used for clients before.

    The first thing with data recovery is to figure out where it was copied. One of the first questions any admin should ask is "where are the back-ups?"

    Please don't skimp on details, as they help shape an intelligent response. Are we talking about overwritten data, a dead drive, or what? Personal or corporate environment?

    If it is a physical disk, the LAST thing you want to do is continue to let it spin and troubleshoot it by software.

    Software will not repair a head failure. It will only cause it to spin and score the platter, which makes recovery impossible.


    Should have had a backup plan. Invest in a NAS if you haven't already.

    A dead flash drive could be a loose solder point on the USB.

    But please do let us know what device it is.
