Choosing the right Data Recovery company is vital to ensure your data has the maximum chance of being successfully restored.

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

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.

Top tier data recovery companies will be at the cutting edge and will be carrying out their own research and developments Changes to hard drive specifications or new tools are often unavailable so companies need to self develop.

A very good question to ask to test the water is does the company have its own call out service for raid recovery or server recovery emergencies.If they say no you may want to choose some one else.

Frighteningly some companies will only have a basic workbench to recover your data, you want to ensure at the very least they have a certified (preferably certified to ISO class 3 standards).

If the recovery company need to strip your drive to effect a repair you need to get the data back as quick as possible in most cases so if the company do not have their own lab you may find your drive will need to be shipped abroad.

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.
