> Regular data backup is a good and recommended practice. Sometimes we forget that we have automatic backup enabled, so it is worth checking on your devices if you had that option enabled, and use that backup to restore your data. In case you don't, planning for future backups is recommended, and you can find more tips on how to set up backups in the [final tips of this workflow](#resolved_end).

هل استطعت إيجاد البيانات أو استرجاعها؟
Digital data can be very ephemeral and unstable and there are many ways you can lose it. Physical damage of your devices, termination of your accounts, erroneous deletion, software updates and software crashes can all propel a loss of data. Besides, sometimes you might not be aware of how or if your back-up system works, or simply have forgotten about your credentials or the route to find or recover your data.
البيانات الرقميّة رهيفة و هشّة و قد تضيع لأسباب مختلفة، منها الأعطال المادية في النبائط، و إغلاق الحسابات، و الحذف غير المقصود، و تحديثات البرمجيَّات و انهيار التطبيقات و غيرها. كما أنَّنا أحيانًا لا نكون مُلمّين بكيفية عمل نظم الحفظ الاحتياطي التي نعتمد عليها، أو قد ننسى مُسوِّغات الولوج، أو مسار العثور على البيانات و استرجاعها.
This section of the Digital First Aid Kit will walk you through some basic steps to diagnose how you might have lost data and potential mitigation strategies to recover it.
هذا القسم في عدَّة الإسعاف الأوَّلي الرقمي ستدلّك إلى خطوات أساسيّة لتشخيص كيفية ضياع بياناتك و الاستراتيجيات المحتملة لتدارك ذلك.
Here is a questionnaire to identify the nature of your problem and find possible solutions.
المسار التالي يساعد في تحديد المشكلة و إيجاد حلول مناسبة.

> Often your "lost" data is data that has simply been deleted - either accidentally or intentionally. In your computer, check your Recycle Bin or Trash. On Android devices, you might find the lost data in the LOST.DIR directory. If the missing or lost files cannot be located in the Recycle Bin or Trash of your operating system, it is possible that they haven't been deleted, but are in a different location than you expected. Try the search function in your operating system to locate them.
>
> Check also hidden files and folders, as the data you have lost might be there. Here is how you can do it on [Mac](https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/show-hidden-files-mac-3520878/) and [Windows](https://support.microsoft.com/en-ie/help/4028316/windows-view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-10). For Linux, go to your home directory in a file manager and type Ctrl + H. You can view hidden files also on [Android](https://www.technologyhint.com/show-hidden-files/) and iOS.
>
> Try searching for the exact name of your lost file. If that does not work, or if you are not sure of the exact name, you can try a wildcard search (i.e. if you lost a docx file, but aren't sure of the name, you can search `*.docx`) which will pull up only files with the `.docx` extension. Sort by the *Date Modified* in order to quickly locate the most recent files when using the wildcard search option.
>
> In addition to searching for the lost data on your device, ask yourself if you have emailed to or shared it with someone (including yourself) or added it to your cloud storage at any point. If that is the case, you can perform a search there and may be able to retrieve it or some version of it.
>
> To increase your chances of recovering data, stop editing and adding information to your devices immediately. If you can, connect the drive as external device (e.g. over USB) to a separate, secure computer to search and restore information. Writing to the drive (e.g. downloading or creating new documents) might decrease the chances of finding and restoring lost data.
> عادة ما تكون البيانات الضائعة قد حُذِفَت، إمَّا بغير قصد أو عمدًا. في الحاسوب انظر في سلَّة المهملات، و في أجهزة أندرُويْد قد تجد البيانات الضائعة في دليل LOST.DIR. إذا لمْ تجدي البيانات في أيٍّ مِنْ تلك المواضع فلربَّما لَمْ تُحْذَف البيانات أصلا و هي موجودة في موضع غير متوقَّع، فجرّبي وظيفة البحث في نظام التشغيل.
>
> انظر كذلك في الملفات و الأدلة المخفية، فربما تجدين البيانات. يوجد شرح لكيفية إظهار الملفات و الأدلة المخفية في [ماك](https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/show-hidden-files-mac-3520878/) و [وِندوز](https://support.microsoft.com/ar-eg/help/4028316/windows-view-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-10). في لينكس اذهب إلى الدليل المنزل و اضغط Ctrl+H، توجد طرق لإظهارها أيضًا في أندرُويْد و آي‌أو‌إس.
>
> جرّبي البحث بالاسم الحرفي للملف الضائع، فإنْ لَمْ يُفلح هذا أو إذا كنت لا تذكر الاسم بالضبط فجرّبي البحث بأحرف التعويض wildcard (مثلا إذا كان الملف الضائع له الامتداد docx يمكنك البحث عن ‭*.docx‬) و هو ما سيعرض الملفات التي لها ذلك الامتداد. رتِّبي النتائج حسب *تاريخ التعديل\* لوضع الملفات الحديثة في الصدارة.
>
> بالإضافة إلى البحث عن البيانات المفقودة في جهازك حاول تذكُّر إنْ كنت قد أرسلتيها بالبريد لشخص ما (أو لنفسك) أو رفعتيها في مخزن سحابي. إن كنت قد فعلت ذلك فابحثي عنها هناك و قد تجدين نسخة منها.
>
> لزيادة فرصتك في استعادة البيانات امتنعي عن استعمال الجهاز فورًا، لأنَّ استعمال الجهاز يتسبب في كتابة بيانات باستمرار على القرص الصلب (أو نبيطة التخزين عموما) ممّا يزيد مِنْ احتمال طمس البيانات الضائعة، إنْ كانت قد حُذفت.

- Backups - It’s always a good idea to make sure you have backups - a lot of different backups, that you store somewhere other than the same place your data is! Depending on your context, opt for storing your backups in cloud services and in physical external devices you keep disconnected from your computer while connecting to the internet.
- For both types of backups, you should protect your data with encryption. Perform regular and incremental backups for your most important data, check that you have them ready, and test that you are able to restore them before performing software or operating system updates.
- Set up a structured folder system - Every person has their own way of organizing important data and information, there is no one size fits all. Nonetheless, it is important that you consider setting up a folder system that suits your needs. By creating a consistent folder system, you can make your life easier by better knowing which folder and files should be frequently backed up for instance, where important information you are working on is located, where you should keep data containing personal or sensitive information about you and your collaborators, and so on. As usual, take a deep breath and some time for planning the type of data you produce or manage, and think of a folder system that can make it more consistent and tidy up.
