Data Recovery service

Falcone · 30th Jul 2009, 06:17 PM

I have a friend that accidentally drop his HD while reading it (really OUCH!!!)

Now he needs to find someone that can do data recovering from the damaged HD, anyone here knows where he can do that in KL?

I did it once, with a company called First Data Recovery. Not sure if they are still around...

It's expensive though.

They are still around. But I might have other contacts. I need to get to office before I can reply.

Data Recovery : Achieva Technology Sdn Bhd

Expensive .. but I think this one only software type of recovery.

Thanks guys for the input, have inform him, see how it goes. He is a bit worried about the data he has inside, it's priceless and at the same time very 'private', so he is looking if the service can guarantee non disclosure also.

Time to get a NAS to backup my backup.

yeah, I agree - backup is the only solution, to aviod losing data, when hard drive gets broken. I've been there, done that.
Yet, my recommendation goes to data recovery in Toronto - Data Recovery for Desktop, Laptop, Notebook Computer or External Hard Drive they're in business and did amazing job for me once

LOL!!! Home made porn? Can always make more...

Well, non-disclosure is always a problem. Sure, the company may promise you that their staff will not look into the contents, but what's to stop the guy repairing it from copying out some of the stuff?

Ultimately, it's best to backup such sensitive material... so you don't have to resort to such drastic and expensive measures.

Well, many companies seek these type of data recovery, and I guess their data is even more confidential.

Adrian Wong · 2nd Aug 2009, 01:01 AM

That's true, but I believe those working with sensitive data would encrypt them and in fact, some would prefer to ensure that their data stays inaccessible than actually retrieving it. That's why there are HDDs with FDE (full disk encryption) so that if a laptop is stolen, then no one can access the data.

In any case, it's always best to back up important data, even if it's nothing personal and only useful to people in your industry. Beats worrying about retrieving it if the HDD dies or the laptop gets stolen.
