Restoring damaged partitions on is a dangerous business. Even if you use the best toolkit and you are perfectly sure in what you are making, you are still risking your data filles shall something fail. Modifies made to the broken partition are permanent; it is just too facile to overwrite an important system structure that bears critical information about your disk, files and data. Bottom line: it’s good to backup before executing data recovery. But is this really the best manner to do it?

There is a different method to do data recovery that is more secure. you do not need to backup and restore during the recovery. Rather than making a backup copy of corrupted data, you can simply take a binary snapshot of the partition being fixed, and essay the recovery with another settings as many times as you need on this snapshot instead of the actual disk.

SoftAmbulance Partition Doctor is one of a few data recovery tools that allow recovering a virtual image of a damaged hard drive instead of repairing the hard drive directly. The data recovery tool lets you make a binary image of the broken hard drive, and works with the binary image instead of the real thing. The binary image is a big file stored on another hard disk, CD, DVD or other media. The technology is similar to making an .iso image of a CD or DVD disc.

The hard drive copy may be virtual, but any data you save from it is for real. SoftAmbulance Partition Doctor can retrieve your files, documents and other data from the binary image and put it on a good media. After that, you can attack repairing the damaged system structures of the corrupted hard drivewithout taking any risk at all. Any changes will be executed on the virtual image.

 Don’t take the risk of losing or corrupting your data. Create a virtual snapshot of the hard drive being repaired, and work on that snapshot instead of accessing the corrupted hard drive. This procedure maintains your original data safe, and ensures the highest level of guard during the recovery process.
