I'm looking forward to this series; backups are far too often overlooked, and then people have to try to recover bits and pieces from the remnants.</p><p>For me, the place where I generally start is RESTORATION: what do I want a restore (full or partial) to look like? Then, storage media (local external HDD, USB flash drive, tape, cloud, …; RTO may drive this), taking into account integrity.

matthew - retroedge.techToday I will be attempting a data recovery from a Dell XPS laptop that was dropped and no longer has proper display output to the laptop screen. <br><br>To anyone thinking about getting an Dell XPS, I recommend that you don't. The extra cost premium is not worth what you actually get as I think Dell makes a lot of poor design decisions with the XPS line that look "premium" but are really problematic. <br><br>That's my opinion on the XPS series. The Latitude line is much more reliable, if you want to go with a laptop from Dell.<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://social.retroedge.tech/tag/dell" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dell</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.retroedge.tech/tag/xps" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xps</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.retroedge.tech/tag/datarecovery" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#datarecovery</a>
