When choosing a data recovery company to recover your valuable data it is very important that you make the right choice. Making the wrong choice can be the difference between recovering useful data or potentially ending up with nothing.
You need to ensure that the specialist that is handling your data is well trained and conversant with the latest data recovery techniques as drives and techniques do change on a regular basis.
Data recovery and file restoration should be the main focus of their day to day activities and not a task that they undertake every once in a while when they get a job in, you can indeed find that the recovery is nothing more than a shell and could even be a secondary service offered by a computer repairer or web designer for example.
A true data recovery lab will be able to successfully recover data from Servers, Laptop’s, Desktop’s, CD/DVD’s and all other types of storage media, not simply just from a failed hard drive.
They should be up to date with the latest hard drive technology and Raid recovery techniques and if top tier will also conduct their own research and development.
If they are leaders in data solutions they should also be able to offer a full gamut of data recovery services including full server and raid data recovery capabilities.
Top tier recovery specialist companies will also have there own onsite or country based lab facility for use if drive stripping is required. This should be at the latest recommended certified ISO class 3 environment.
If the recovery company need to strip your drive to effect a repair you need to get the data back as quick as possible in most cases so if the company do not have their own lab you may find your drive will need to be shipped abroad.
To sum up losing data can cripple a company or cause personal heartache, so make sure you are dealing with a reputable firm as much as you can, and ask the awkward questions.
