Data recovery
When your hard drive or memory stick fails you can lose your treasured family photos, accounts or documents.
Lost data
Then you learn the value of backing up your data - onto CD, DVD, memory stick, or the cloud (Dropbox, Google drive etc). However when your PC breaks down its too late. Music, videos, downloads, etc are replaceable, but your photographs and documents may not be. See my page on backups here
Failed drive
Depending on the nature of the fault and the value of the data we can often recover at least some of your files from a faulty or failing hard drive. Early intervention is always best - if you suspect you have a problem please contact us.
For "mission critical" data, or if its a serious fault you would need to use a specialist (= expensive) service. As an example a client was recently quoted £850 +VAT for data recovery from a hard drive; and another client £650 +VAT for recovering data from a 4G USB drive.
At skillbank we have had a lot of success in retrieving data economically through our use of specialised software on our dedicated Linux based PC. However early detection and intervention gives the best results, so when you first notice problems - such as a slow PC - contact us!
Best of all we offer a "no data no fee" policy so you have nothing to lose by asking!
