In our years working in the IT industry we have isolated three of the most common problems, and headaches, in data recovery. Generally companies that fail to invest in advanced data protection systems, such as our Data Protection Package, will be faced with a necessity to recover lost data. Although we do not handle every type of data recovery, we have established relationships with companies that do. There are, however, a few things we like to do ourselves: Hard Drive Data Recovery, is a service most common in small businesses. Frequently computer users save important data on their workstations, without synchronizing or saving it to a server. Most, do not backup their computers. Eventually the hard disks fail in one of two ways: data corruption or physical damage. The good news is we can recover both. Our advanced data extraction techniques allow us to extract data from corrupt disks, or open and remove platters in a Class-100 Clean Room for the more advanced damage. Hard Drive Data Recovery also includes Flash Drives, or memory sticks. We are generally able to recover them for a small fee. Our most common complaint results from travelers with digital cameras that are x-rayed. Finally, RAID data recovery, is part of our Hard Drive Data Recovery services and is the more advanced form of recovery. In cases where a RAID failure occurs and no backups are available, we'll guide you in all the stages of the recovery.
SQL Data Recovery, is rare. The most common reason for SQL Data failure is a bad sector on the hard disk interfering with data integrity. Other reasons include corruption due to lack of maintenance. Either way, we have experience in recovering such data. Microsoft Exchange Data Recovery, is also rare, and relatively easy to recover. We are familiar with the procedures and steps necessary to complete a standard recovery and mount your database in a clean state.

Computer Doctors of Maine Inc., hard disk drive recovery process is affordable and reliable. We have had 100% success rate in our recoveries that included partition failure and mechanical failure. Although we provide our data recovery services nationwide, our primary focus is helping individuals businesses in the Greater Portland area. We will work personally with you through the difficult time, assess the situation, and assist you in moving forward through the process. Moreover, we charge a fraction of most data recovery services and, and we do it for a flat fee. Step 1. Initial Assessment & Acquisition.
After you contact us for data recovery options we will first work to collect information and establish a potential pathway for the data recovery. We will attempt to make a determination on whether basic or advanced recovery will be required to complete the job. We're not always right at this stage, but we do our best to lay out your options. For our customers in the Greater Portland Area (including Gorham, Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, Scarborough, Saco, Biddeford, and Kennebunk) we will come and pick up ther affected hardware. Step 2. Basic Recovery ($379.00 plus $25.00 service fee).
Once in our office the affected hard-drive will be connected to a series of recovery units designed to analyze the integrity of the device and the potential for recovery. If possible we will immediately image the drive and proceed with basic recovery. This process generally takes 24-48 hours. We will secure your data, burn it on DVDs (or put it on an external hard drive) and return it to you promptly. Typical reasons for Basic Recovery include: lost parition information; drive is asking to be formatted; accidental deletion of files; drive was formatted.
Step 3. Advanced Recovery - ONLY IF Basic Recovery Fails (additional $325.00 clean-room fee).
Roughly 50% of all received drives fail basic recovery due to their state and have to be subjected to higher level recovery. In this case the drive will be transferred to our affiliated engineering laboratory where the device can be subjected to more invasive recovery. This process usually takes 3-7 business days. We will do everything necessary to recover the data including take the drive apart in a CLASS-100 Clean Room. Typical reasons for Advanced Recovery include: "clicking" or other noises on the hard drive; drive will not spin; smell of smoke; you require forensic data recovery; someone smashed it.
We also offer RAID 0 and RAID 5 recovery but price estimates vary depending on the complexity of the project and the unique situation. Our typical RAID Data Recoveries cost between $3000 and $6000, far below our competition. However, those estimates do not apply in all of our cases, so please call us for details. |
