About Our Data Recovery Procedures

No-Risk Telephone Consultation

You can call our toll free number 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no charge for your telephone consultation.. The first thing you will hear is the friendly voice of one of our knowledgeable customer service representatives. We will ask you about the events leading up to your data loss and advise you of your immediate recovery options.

Immediate Diagnostic Evaluation

We will contact you immediately to acknowledge receiving your media. Our engineers will then diagnose the problems related to your media and will prepare a lab report for you, complete with a firm estimate of the cost involved to recover your data.

We will fax or e-mail this report to you as soon as it is available and one of our Client Services Representatives will telephone you shortly after, to discuss these details and determine the next steps. You can expect your evaluation report within 4-6 hours, from receiving your media.

Fast, Cost Effective & Confidential

Complete recovery turnaround, including analysis and recovery, is usually 24-48 hours. American Data Recovery has the specialized equipment and expertise needed to recover data lost from mechanical or electrical drive failure. Our Class 100 Clean Room facilities and factory-trained technicians ensure the safety and integrity of your drive and allow us to repair mechanical and electrical problems in-house.

We have the specialized in-depth knowledge of software structures to facilitate the recovery of your data and have vast experience assembling the pieces of sector data into usable files. For time-sensitive data loss situations, we can expedite fast turn-around by using direct modem-to-modem transfer or High-Speed T1 FTP data transfer by way of the Internet.

Recovery prices are deterrmined by the complexity of the data structure and/or the physical problems associated with the media. Our charges are based on time and expertise and do not relate to media capacity. American Data Recovery will use any information provided by the customer only for the purpose of fulfilling the engagement and will hold the Customer's Information in the strictest confidence.

We can help…

If you think your data is unrecoverable, reconsider: we have recovered data from dropped, fire-damaged and water-damaged drives, and from accidentally erased and formatted media as well.

Our engineers have a commitment to innovation, and have developed in-house proprietary software and hardware solutions to retrieve the maximum amount of data. We will return your files on the media you specify (either CD-ROM, tape, floppies or a new hard drive) and we will keep a backup of all your files until they have been successfully reinstalled and tested.

Our customer service representatives will follow up with you after we have returned your media, to assure everything is working to your satisfaction. Regardless of your media type or operating system, we have probably seen it before. Standard PC hard drives are a large part of our business, but we also rescue data from RAID Arrays, Servers, removable media such as floppies, optical cartridges and tapes.

If you have lost data from a laptop, we have the tools to retrieve it, regardless of age, make or model. Our proprietary recovery technology is not operating system dependent. From DOS to Novell to Macintosh to UNIX, we have the technology and expertise to retrieve your data.

Note: Data recovery utilities may harm your files if not used correctly. Please consult us before running any proprietary or commercial software. These utilities can decrease the chances of a successful retrieval of your information.
