Data Recovery

Nothing is harder than losing the data that you value most. Whether it be pictures of your kids or the spreadsheet you have been working on for a year, the loss of data can potentially cost you exuberant amounts of money, time or maybe something that can’t even be expressed in monetary value. Whatever it is that is lost, allow us to try and get it back.

There are three types of data recovery that are commonly offered. The first type is local software recovery in the event of accidental deletion by the user or by a program. This is generally the easiest recovery path due to the lack in hardware failure or corruption.

The second type of recovery is hardware/software based. Methods used here include putting the hard drive in a special enclosure or environment that allows software to attempt to recover the data off of the drive in its entirety. The method used here is for failing hard drives that are still partially accessible.

Finally, the third type of data recovery is for extreme hardware failures where the hard drive is no longer accessible or working. Recovery for this scenario involves using a clean room to replace hardware inside the drive or move the platters that house the data into new drives to recover from. This is a very involved proposition that is usually reserved for the most important of recoveries.

Wilson Technology is prepared to help with the first two types of data recovery and we will do everything in our power to get your important data back as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we are not equipped with the tools to perform the third type of data recovery. Fear not, we partner with some great companies who are equipped to get your data back should it be determined that an involved data recovery be necessary. If you have any questions regarding data recovery it is important to contact us before trying to recover the data yourself. Unsuccessful recoveries usually lead to complete data loss.
