Can data be recovered from a time capsule?

Apple Time Capsule or AirPort uses an inbuilt 2TB or 3TB hard drive to store your files. When you delete some files from the Apple Time Capsule, they get removed from the hard drive as well. Moreover, if the hard drive fails, gets damaged, reformatted, or its file system gets corrupted, you won't be able to access your data. Similar data loss disasters can also occur accidentally, leading to loss of your data.

When you lose data from your Time Capsule, you may urgently need a data recovery solution. Then comes the question: Can you recover data from Time Capsule? As you know, Time Capsule is essentially an AirPort Extreme (a home gateway product) with an integrated hard drive. Therefore, you can't regard the Time Capsule as an external storage device that can be connected to your Mac for direct data recovery. However, since it contains an internal hard drive and the lost/deleted data comes from this drive, you can carefully take out the hard drive from the Time Capsule, connect it to your Mac via USB or SATA cable, and then recover data from it.
