Data Recovery is a service that you hope to never need. When you do need it though, you want to be sure to hire and honest, certified, and reputable company. Data Recovery is still one on the wild west areas of computer work. Individuals offering data recovery range from college student in mom’s basement to huge mega-corporations. This makes it a field where the buyer really has to beware.
A lot of companies offer the “no recovery, no charge” promise in all situations. Some of these companies are working on the off the dirty-little-secret that they get the hard drive in and do the work if it is an easy recovery. If it is not easy, they either tell you the data is unrecoverable or they tried and failed. They count of volume of easy work to make their living.
If your data is valuable, you NEED to get a company with educated and certified technicians to do the recovery work. At the very least, call and consult with someone before you launch into your recovery efforts. MANY of the jobs I receive come in after big box retailers or the college student in mom’s basement have attempted the recovery. In general they have made the situation much worse! Some time they have created a situation where the data is unrecoverable.
In a situation where you can’t access you important data, I recommend you immediately call DataTriangle or another qualified data recovery technician. There are techniques to back up the computer, external hard drive, server, or exchange database before other recovery techniques are attempted. This backup with forensic or data recovery tools can save your data from being lost forever.
DataTriangle offers reasonable priced data recovery services. Our speciality is in software based recoveries such as file system failures, Windows Crash, Blue Screen, reformat of drive, partition corruption, and Exchange Errors, and boot errors. DataTriangle combined experience in forensics and data recovery makes us uniquely suited for these jobs.
Data recovery can vary from an quick and relatively easy software recovery to a complex recovery requiring hardware work and binary level code work. If you need data recovery help, I recommend you shoot me an email, and I will give you an honest evaluation of your situation. Data Recovery is kind of a user beware sort of field. There are unqualified “techs” out their advertising data recovery services, when they have little or no special training in the field. Then you have huge mega-companies that charge you $800 to a $3000 dollars for a simple software recovery that probably takes them less than 30 minutes of hands-on time. My current recovery rate is 96%. The vast majority of those recoveries have been completed as basic software recoveries.
