Data Recovery FAQs

Our data recovery fee depends on media type, amount of data and the physical condition of the media. If we cannot recover your data there will not be a recovery charge. We handle any type of complexity therefore our prices may significantly vary from case to case. Beware of companies that will get you in the door and charge you regardless of whether or not they can recover any data. We hear of many bad experiences from customers that used other companies on a daily basis. Please contact us to discuss the flexible payment options we offer.* In the event that a recovery has been previously attempted on your media, a fee for the diagnostic may be applicable.
