Macintosh/Mac Data Recovery

While Apple Macintosh computers have a reputation of being stable and durable, they are still very much susceptible to data loss as any other computer device. While they are definitely less prone than Windows PC’s to data loss due to malware/virus infection, the hard drive of a Mac is just as vulnerable to all other types of data loss. The following are just a few of the many possible ways that users in the Virginia area could lose their data from a Macintosh:

• Accidental file deleting
• Mac operating system file corruption
• Malware infection
• Grinding or clicking noises from hard drive
• Hard drive not able to power on
• File encryption

FileVault Encryption

A current hot topic is hard drive encryption. At the time of this writing, all newly installed Macintosh computers encrypt the hard drive by default using a program called FileVault. This is done in order to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your data by removing your hard drive and connecting it to another computer.

When using FileVault to encrypt data, you have the option of creating a recovery key in case you forget the regular login password to your Mac. It is very important that you keep the recovery key somewhere else other than the same computer. Similarly, there are options to store a Filevault recovery key in your Apple iCloud account or with Apple tech support by creating a set of security questions.

In the event that you lose your Mac login password and do not have access to a recovery key, then your data is lost forever. The best way to protect yourself from this situation is to make frequent backups of your data to an external hard drive or other computer.
