When Backups Fail, We Have a Plan

Through our partnership with DriveSavers—the industry leader in data recovery since 1985—we provide access to certified engineers who can recover data from virtually any storage device, regardless of damage or failure type.

Why This Matters

  • +90%+ success rate on data recovery across all media types
  • +SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant for sensitive data
  • +24/7 priority service available for emergencies
  • +No data, no charge—you only pay if recovery succeeds

The Last Line of Defense

Data recovery is not a replacement for backups—it is the safety net when everything else fails

We design robust backup and disaster recovery strategies that protect your data. But we also recognize that sometimes the unthinkable happens: backup failures, ransomware that hits before backups run, hardware failures without recent backups, or human error that deletes critical data. That is when professional data recovery becomes essential.

Common Recovery Scenarios

  • Ransomware attack with compromised or outdated backups
  • RAID array failure with multiple drive failures
  • Accidental deletion of critical files or databases
  • Fire or water damage to servers or storage
  • SSD or NVMe drive failure without warning
  • Backup corruption discovered during restore attempt

Why Professional Recovery Matters

  • DIY attempts often cause permanent data loss
  • Clean room environments prevent further damage
  • Specialized tools for each storage technology
  • Compliance requirements for chain of custody
  • Proprietary firmware and controller knowledge
  • OEM relationships for parts and documentation
