Successful Hard-Disk Recovery around Maine

We began our recovery business with simple disc recovery. From there, we moved on to forensics.  Most of our time is spent on projects that include evidence collection, examination, and reporting.  We primarily provide services to businesses and government agencies. However, there is plenty of room to utilize our expertise and resources for consumers. 

Our hard drive recovery journey has involved from individuals just trying to get their pictures and documents, to critical drives from the University of Southern Maine, to highly sensitive data for the Drug Enforcement Agency.  Our clients came from all areas of Maine [including Portland, Biddeford, Westbrook, South Portland, Saco, Gorham, Bar Harbor, and Perry] to other parts of the US [including Florida and New York].  Our goal has remained the same, to provide easy and affordable data recovery services to individuals and businesses in Maine.  Although we urge all of our customers (and visitors alike) to take all the precautions to BACKUP AND PROTECT their data, if disaster strikes we'll be there.

Some of our cases include:

• Nancy handed her computer over for virus removal to a Scarborough based computer company which proceeded to clean the infection.  Life's work lost in a matter of seconds, which they blamed on the virus.  Our process discovered the drive had been recklessly partitioned.  We were able to recover almost all of the data.
• Annette, experienced sudden partition loss on a PowerEdge 1900 series server running SAS drives on RAID 1.   Bad time to discover the backups were not running.  We were able to do a RAW file recovery remotely within 12 hours - the server was located in Texas!
• Brady handed a computer over to be repaired by a Portland based computer company. They formatted the system without doing a backup.  We were able to recover all of the data.
• Sally, CERC raid failure in a Dell PowerEdge server.   A highly complicated case that involved data recovery AND a restore from a 1 year old backup. We restored all data, Active Directory, Exchange, and SQL Server.
• Steven, drive stopped working due to mechanical failure, drive was not spinning.  Clean room recovery from a 500Gb disk.
• Robert, drive making strange noises.  25% bad sectors but data recovered.
• Andrew, drive took a hit from a paper-weight.  Dead on arrival.  Lab based recovery got the data.
• Diane, 9-year old computer crashed and she brought it to the computer repair persons in local - big-box - retailer.  They tried to recover, failed, and caused more damage in the process.  Their inexperience and poor judgement rendered the drive un-recoverable.  Unfortunately, we cannot recover every drive; it is essential that ONLY EXPERIENCED data recovery engineers attempt to service your hard drive.
