I bought a pc magazine at the weekend and it mentioned data recovery and different software that can be used to help. Does anyone know of any training courses where I can learn data recovery in more detail? Or is it one of those subjects where practice is really the only way to learn?

I don't know of any courses I think its one of those things you just learn.

 

IMHO the main requirement for being successful at data-recovery is *very* detailed knowledge of hardware and filesystems.

I used to do this some years ago, and found that, while tools help a lot, nothing substitutes for detailed knowledge of the filesystem so you can recognize patterns in the data.
