When choosing a data recovery company to recover your valuable data it is very important that you make the right choice. Making the wrong choice can be the difference between recovering useful data or potentially ending up with nothing.
The company you choose need to have a fully focused team of professionals 100% committed to your data requirements, often some lessor recovery companies will simply have access to some software that they occasionally use if a job comes up.
Data recovery being as important as it is should certainly not be something they do as a background activity, so don't be afraid to ask some very pointed questions to make sure your getting the service you think you are an will most definately need.
A true data recovery lab will be able to successfully recover data from Servers, Laptop's, Desktop's, CD/DVD's and all other types of storage media, not simply just from a failed hard drive.
They should have both the leading technology and skilled technicians to identify and solve the most challenging recovery situations presented to them.
If they are leaders in data solutions they should also be able to offer a full gamut of data recovery services including full server and raid data recovery capabilities.
Most professional data recovery will have proper labs facilities not just a back office with a bench. The data recovery lab is often the heart and sole of the operation.
In the event of your drive needing to be stripped down you need to know who is actually handling your data and is it secure? Having to send your drive to another country for assessment should not be a requirement in this day and age.
In summary your data has a huge value both on a personal and business basis so don't rush in and make sure you ask the right questions to give you the best chance of getting your data back.
