From earthquakes to heavy floods, there has been a seemingly endless run of news about natural disasters this year. In these types of unfortunate circumstances, the first concern is clearly loss of life but businesses also suffer not only due to infrastructure damage, but also because of the disaster’s effect on companies’ valuable data systems.
Stellar Data Recovery, the leading provider of data recovery, email migration and data erasure solutions, shares how companies can sustain or resume business operations during and after natural disasters like floods observed in Chennai recently.
We all know how dangerous water is, for digital devices. We always take special precautions to keep our gadgets like mobile phones, cameras, laptops etc., at a safe distance from water. But we are helpless in case of natural calamities, like what happened in Chennai recently. The extent of damage which has happened in the city is unimaginable. Rains flooded almost the entire city and brought it to a halt.
Offices, houses, airport, railway stations, roads all were flooded with rain water. Data systems on the ground floors and basement areas were completely submerged under water and this has made important data inaccessible which may lead to many businesses suffering, even more, losses. As an Industry leader, Stellar Data Recovery has an obligation to help businesses and citizens of the city in these trying times.

Here are their disaster recovery “Do’s and Don’ts” compiled by Stellar:
- Do not turn ON the power of your computer system/ laptop or storage box or external USB HDD or the servers.
- Do not plug in any of your storage media which was submerged in water, to your computer.
- Do not try out any solution advised by local unqualified maintenance engineers on your own, this may lead to permanent data loss.
- Do not open your hard drive and expose the storage media, this may lead to permanent data loss.
- Do not attempt to dry the disk. The dry out will lead to deposition of contaminated residue on the disk’s platters and heads which will cause physical degradation of platters. They may cause more damage and diminish chances of successful data recovery.
- Keep the disk wet. This stops the hard disk’s corrosion and data recovery experts would be able to clean and dry the platters correctly with minimum damage to platter surfaces.
- Ensure that the disk is opened only in a class 100 clean room lab by a qualified data recovery expert.
