Frequently Asked Questions
What causes data loss?Data recovery may become necessary for a wide variety of reasons, but generally the failure can be categorized as resulting from physical damage or logical corruption.
What is data recovery?Data recovery is the process of recovering data from storage media when it cannot be accessed normally. Hard drives are among the most common types of storage media requiring data recovery. However, there are many other forms of electronic, optical, and magnetic storage media that can become damaged or corrupted. Data recovery is generally considered to be the last resort when all other attempts to retrieve the data have been exhausted. How does data recovery happen?The data recovery process depends on the type of recovery necessary for your particular situation. Our specialists begin with a diagnostic process to determine which solution fits your needs and then you are contacted to discuss your quote. How long does data recovery take?We have three data recovery service options: If necessary, a diagnosis and price quote can be obtained within 4 business days. How much does data recovery cost?Data recovery costs can vary depending on the type of storage media, severity of damage, specialty parts, and turn around time required.

What is the success rate of data recovery?The good news is, although there is no guarantee that data can be recovered, our team of specialists have years of success recovering data from all types of media.
