The hard drive in my laptop just died, and it's been about a week since I ran a full backup.
I know there are companies that specialize in data recovery from dead hard disks. I'm curious how they do this. What steps would one of these companies take if...

They can get most of the data, but if the platters....
The platters will be put into a known good spindle and data is recovered that way.
They crack the case and pull out the platters and do the recovery in a clean room.
That would cost.

A data recovery houseI find rdiff-backup or dirvish works really well.

The last two lines.
From your alert log, it looks like a normal automatic instance recovery.
I suspect skulduggery by one of your collegues.
Data either is or is not commited.
Sounds very odd to me.

This is by design to protect the securty related information for the document .
It is not possible with SharePoint - you can only restore back to a SharePoint farm/site/server
DPM doesnt have an option to recover to a particular folder .

So due to a recent act of stupidity and bravado, I uttered the words "backups! who needs backups?!" and what followed was the tragic loss of 260gb of data.
This scenario in particular is requiring me to recover a repartitioned hard disk, but I was wondering...

So lets say you've failed at preventing a drive failure, and also, you've failed to make a backup of said drive. Push has come to shove and now you need a way to recover you're precious data. Has anybody out there run into this situation? And if so could...

Your best bet would be taking the drive to a data recovery company whoI suppose you would need to go some to computer lab that can recover your data.
Be very slow and expensive.

Ext3grep is your best option for recovering files though: I used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and was easily[1] able to recover all the pictures I had deleted .
I don't think you'll find GUI frontends for these.

I've been using some data recovery tools like Diskinternals Uneraser . I've been wondering how we can recover things on a hard drive programmatically?
Is there specific disc access mechanics, patterns, API to use? Is it something I can do in C#?

Besides from "Deleted Items", that....
Speaking for NTFS, there is no "deleted items" API, AFAIK .
As soon as you have arcane knowledge of file system internals and direct access to the hardware, you will be able to recover things on a hard drive, even in C# .

If you can into safe mode, copy all of the data from the corrupt drives to your new one be the only option you have.

Edit: Looking at your previous to the innards.
A demo which will allow you to see if recovery is possible.
