Data Recovery Canberra – FAQs
What is data recovery?
Data recovery is the process of retrieving inaccessible, lost, corrupted, or formatted data from storage devices like hard drives, SSDs, or USBs when they cannot be accessed normally.
How much does data recovery cost?
Basic recovery for deleted files starts from $199. Physical hardware failures (like clicking drives) require more intensive lab work and typically range from $400 to $900+, depending on the damage. We provide a quote before starting any work.
How do you do data recovery?
For software issues, we use forensic tools to scan the drive sector-by-sector to rebuild files. For hardware issues, we may replace damaged components (like read/write heads) using donor parts to temporarily revive the drive enough to clone the data.
Is my data safe with you?
Absolutely. We adhere to strict privacy and confidentiality agreements. Our local technicians handle your device personally, ensuring total security for business and government data.
