Barry Schnur, Data Recovery and Computer Networking
Barry Schnur
Barry Schnur is an Associate Consultant with Business Automation, specializing in
data recovery and computer networking. In his consulting capacity with the firm,
Mr. Schnur has participated in numerous projects in both the expert
witness/consulting and information systems areas. In addition to his work with
Business Automation, he has an independent client base for whom he does needs
analysis, system configuration, applications support and computer network (i.e.,
Novell Netware, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP)
support.
Mr. Schnur is an experienced user of the most sophisticated state of the art forensic
data recovery and analysis software. He has used this capability to recover and
inspect lost and deleted data from dozens of Intel-based personal computers. When
inspecting computer systems for forensic purposes, Mr. Schnur's techniques are
both time-efficient and completely non-destructive. His initial data recovery
procedure is the creation of an exact duplicate of the subject computers' stored data,
after which he returns the computers to their exact pre-inspection condition without
having made any changes to the resident data itself. The duplicate data is
preserved, as created, for evidentiary purposes and it is that data that is used for all
recovery and inspection procedures.
Prior to entering the consulting profession in 1994, Mr. Schnur had been employed
in a number of business and computer positions by two of Arizona's largest
high-tech employers. In addition to his consulting activities, Mr. Schnur

on several network products. He is a past officer and Board member for the Phoenix
PC Users Group and has been a presenter at industry conferences including the

International Conference. He has edited and authored technical articles for several
of the most respected technical publishers, including Cobb Publications, Sybex
Publications and Que Publications.
