Kroll Ontrack claims data recovery ‘breakthrough’ for Apple

Claiming a ‘breakthrough’ with the new technique, Kroll Ontrack says it has developed specialised tools and the “unique ability” to recover data that is logically inaccessible on the Apple device’s permanent storage, and which addresses common logical failures leading to data loss and deleted files, corrupt software, misplaced passwords and OS upgrade issues.

“Apple devices are well known for their ease of use, amazing high quality graphics, high tech innovation and transport mobility, and as a result, we see more critical data being stored on these devices and a greater sense of urgency to recover this data in the event of data loss,” said Troy Hegr, technology manager at Kroll Ontrack. “Kroll Ontrack can successfully address any and all Apple data recovery situations, ensuring users have access to the data they want and need.”
“Consistent with the widespread adoption of Apple devices are an increasing array of backup options -- whether it be the cloud or backup software.

 However, when individuals go to reach for their backup, it may not be up to date, accessible or good,” Hegr said, adding that, as a result, Kroll Ontrack had seen a “350 percent increase in personal Apple device recovery requests in the past 12 months.”

According to Hegr, the most requested data to be recovered from Apple devices are photos/videos and contacts followed by notes and text messages. In addition to the increase in personal device activity, Hegr says Kroll Ontrack has also recovered over 1.1 petabytes of data from Apple devices in the past 12 months, a 16 percent increase over the prior 12 months.
