Making the right choice in which data recovery company to work with can be a bit of a chore at an often crucial time, but getting it right is vitally important to ensure the best success rate.

The company that gets your vote should have dedicated Data recovery staff that are professionally trained for the required task

Data recovery and file restoration should be the main focus of their day to day activities and not a task that they undertake every once in a while when they get a job in.

A true data recovery services company 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 be up to date with the latest hard drive technology and Raid recovery techniques and if top tier will also conduct their own research and development.

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 recovery capabilities. If the company are an industry leader they will also offer a call out service as this is often a key requirement for server and raid data recovery.

Top tier recovery specialist companies will also have there own onsite or country based lab facility for use if drive stripping is required. This should be at the latest recommended certified ISO class 3 environment.

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.

Suffering a data loss has been known to make a business go under but no matter how urgent the situation do your self and your business a favor and make sure you are giving your data to a company that has the best capability to get it back for you.
