FAQ
Data recovery is the process of retrieving lost, deleted, corrupted, or inaccessible data from storage devices such as hard drives, SSDs, USB drives, and memory cards. This can involve addressing issues ranging from accidental deletion to physical damage.
Recovery time varies based on the complexity of the issue:
Logical recovery (e.g., deleted files): Typically 2–3 days.
Physical recovery (e.g., damaged hardware): Usually 6–7 days.
Costs depend on factors like device type, damage severity, and recovery complexity. For instance, Data Engineers offers basic recovery starting at 2500 INR, with advanced recovery tools starting at 8500 INR.
Evaluation: Technicians assess the device to determine the issue.
Quotation: A cost estimate is provided based on the evaluation.
Recovery: Upon approval, data recovery procedures are initiated.
Return: Recovered data is delivered, often on an encrypted storage device.
Reputable data recovery providers implement strict security protocols to protect your data. For example, Data Engineers has established strict privacy policies and signs a non-disclosure agreement with every customer prior to accepting a project.
Success depends on factors like:
Type of damage: Logical vs. physical.
Device condition: Unusual noises or failure to boot indicate potential physical issues.
User actions: Continued use of the device can overwrite lost data, reducing recovery chances.
