Data Recovery Sydney

100% yes.

‘If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.’

All data storage will fail at some point, you need to store it in multiple locations.

The best approach is to have three copies of your critical data;

1. To use daily
2. A daily local backup/copy of that data. It can be onto an external drive or in the cloud.
3. A weekly backup of your critical data that is safe from fire, theft and water damage. Usually off site.

The most pressing aspect of this concern is the safety and privacy of your data.

As professionals, we take everyone’s data very seriously and approach it with the utmost care.

We do our very best to carefully secure and recovery all data required and to not look at any more data than is necessary to ensure that the files and photos are accessible and working properly.

Yes, but not always.

Sometimes we’re able to recover data on the spot, as computer technicians.

If we fail in our recovery processes, we need to escalate to our data recovery specialist team.

It’s at this point where data recovery can be deeply assessed and all measures taken to get data back.

At this point it’s usually possible, but it unfortunately gets quite expensive.

At an onsite level, data recovery is done when a part connecting a drive fails, or when a drive hasn’t completely failed but can no longer run Windows.

This is the best scenario.

If the drive has completely failed then it starts to unfortunately get quite expensive to recover. 

This is because a drive needs to be dismantled, piece by piece, in a static and dust free environment so as to not exarcerbate the issue.

For this we quote on and get approval from clients to go ahead but most often cost closer to $500.

Windows has what are called shadow copies or clones.

Using a program like shadow explorer allows you to navigate through these shadow layers on your drive to often be able to pull out individual files that have been erased.

This would be related to accidental deletions rather than component failures.

Data recovery can often be done in a one hour appointment.

Sometimes when this fails we need to escalate the issue to our senior team.

Then it can take several weeks to complete and recover a more serious data recovery request.

This depends.

It’s defintely worth determining if you need to pay a technician a minimum one hour service fee to recover your data.

There is also a chance that it cannot be resolved at that cost; but it can be diagnosed at that cost.

Sometimes the price can go up to over $1000.

So the question is; how much is your data worth to you?
