Data recovery & backup in Devonport
Laptop won't start, a drive is clicking, or you've deleted the wrong folder? Stop using it and bring it in. We recover what's still recoverable, then set up a backup so you don't go through it again.
What we can recover from
- Laptops and desktops that won't start
- Failing or clicking hard drives, and SSDs
- External drives, USB sticks and memory cards
- Accidentally deleted files and folders
Every case is different. We'll take a look, tell you honestly what the chances are, and agree on the next step with you before going further.
First, stop using it
If you've deleted something by mistake, or a drive is making odd noises, turn it off. Every minute it keeps running can overwrite the files you're trying to get back.
Then, a backup that runs by itself
The best data recovery is the one you never need. We set up automatic backups to an external drive, the cloud, or both, and show you how to check they're working. Our guide How to back up your photos (and actually keep doing it) explains the options.
Need a drive? We stock portable backup drives and can set them up while you wait.
Common questions
Can you always get the files back?
Not always. It depends on what failed and how. We'll tell you plainly what the chances are before any work begins.
Do you recover data from Macs?
Yes, from Macs, Windows PCs and external drives.
Can you set up my backups?
Yes. We set up automatic backups to an external drive or cloud storage, and show you how to check they're working.
