Daniel Donaldson, Stirling

Long story short, broken External Hard Drive and tried some free data recovery software. It did not work. These guys did their magic and got it back. I do not think you can possibly improve on what is an excellent process from start to finish for file recovery.

Daniel Donaldson, Stirling

Sean McKee, Falkirk

The engineers were professional, friendly and recovered all my data files from my HDD within 2 days. You made a complicated and life changing procedure easy, and I am delighted in my decision that I found yourselves to save my family photos. I have recommended you to my friends at work.

Sean McKee, Falkirk

Ryan Hunter, Fife

Ah pure Barry! My photos went roamin and my hard drive was pooched, but these guys sorted it. Quality!

Ryan Hunter, Fife

Maggie McMahon, Edinburgh

I had read all the past client testimonials and thought they just had to be too good to be true. I admit it – I was wrong. The data recovery service you provided saved years of work that, if lost, I would have never recovered from.

Maggie McMahon, Edinburgh

Hamish Alexander, Perth

The backup drive arrived this morning and the data was exactly in the same format as it was before my hard drive crash. I’m so pleased with everything, I thought I would just send you a quick message to say how grateful I was.

Hamish Alexander, Perth

Paul Jeffers, Dundee

Once again thank you for recovering my data, without my Outlook email file my business would have suffered a downturn.

Paul Jeffers, Dundee

Stephen Davidson, Livingston

Data Recovery is not cheap, and taking back ups is a must as free data recovery software does not work. But occasionally things happen, like accidentally dropping an external hard drive onto concrete when working in the garden. And losing the important work presentation you have been working on all weekend. After quotes akin to daylight robbery, step forward Edinburgh Data Recovery who were giving a simple direction “help, please recover all my data as fast as you can!”. Their response was to get it back in 48 hours sooner than initially promised, with full file recovery. It was expensive as expiated, but far better than losing my job. Absolute life-saver.
