Does anyone still use film? I recently heard someone ask this question earlier this week. The question struck me because I recently had a problem with the insufficiency of compact flash data recovery technology – particularly as it pertains to a frazzled vacationer who suddenly realizes that all the pictures he took were suddenly corrupted because of the malfunctioning battery of a “state-of-the art” digital camera!

You think the makers of the gizmo would’ve packed in some kind of auto backup function considering what they charge for it!

The demand for compact flash data recovery has dramatically increased in the past couple of years. This is mainly because a host of devices that do NOT use flash storage have become obsolete.

The most common example of this is, of course, the digicam. Other devices that rely on a CF database are PCs, laptops, and measuring apparatuses.

More data solution companies now offer compact flash data recovery to address the needs of photographers (both pros and hobbyists), security personnel, journalists, doctors, etc.

But merely doing business in this day and age should make anyone concerned about CF backup issues. If you use any kind of digital recording device, PDA, cell phone, or notebook, then CF backup should be an important concern.
