Please read this first: If you've experienced a data loss of any kind, do not attempt a recovery of the data before we have had time to have a little e-mail chat about your problem. If you try to use operating system applications or off-the-shelf software in an attempt to correct the problem, you may be hurting your chances for a data recovery  success. Data recovery is a specialized area. Any attempt to learn the craft should be done on non-essential data devices. Please use our free initial consultation service so that we can help maximize your chances of data recovery. We've made data recovery a speciality and have literally decades of experience stacked up within our staff. If anyone can recover your data, we can! One more thing: You may have been shopping around for data recovery services elsewhere and are concerned about the price. Some labs quote a flat rate based on the size of the media with a minimum charge that begins in the stratosphere and goes up from there. Many of those same labs send their jobs to us when they get in over their heads. On the other hand, we charge a rate that is commensurate with the time and parts required to do the job. For more about the price of our services, visit our pricing page. Maybe, just maybe, you're here only to find ways to protect your data. In that case, click on the Data Safety links on our menu to help insure that you'll never need our services.

How often should you backup? That's a question only you can answer. How many days of data can you afford to do without? Some companies have backups running constantly so they can restore data to the minute. Most computer users don't have that level of need. Decide what's important to you, then create a schedule to backup your data on a daily or weekly basis.

Surveying a Data Recovery: An east Texas surveying and mapping company called with a tale of woe one Thursday afternoon, noting that their IDE drive would no longer work. The hard drive contained years of work, plus CAD files for a job that was due out on the following Monday. FedEx got the drive to us the next morning. The data recovery process began around noon on Friday and went on for many hours -- well into the night. By Saturday morning -- when their anxious call arrived -- it was clear that we would be able to accomplish the recovery of the requested files. A company employee drove to Dallas as we worked feverishly to complete the job. By 5:00 PM the job was done and delivered back to the client, allowing the company to meet their Monday deadline with a municipal client.
