Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Frequently Asked Questions - Full Answers

Can all lost data be recovered?

Quick answer: Not all data can be recovered, as recovery depends on the cause of data loss and condition of the storage device.

Data recovery success varies depending on factors such as physical damage, file overwriting, and device age. An assessment is required to determine whether recovery is possible.

What should I do if I’ve lost important files?

Quick answer: Stop using the affected device immediately to reduce the risk of overwriting recoverable data.

Continued use of a failing or affected storage device can reduce recovery chances. Turning the device off and seeking professional assessment helps preserve recoverable data.

Can you recover data from external hard drives or USBs?

Quick answer: Yes, data recovery may be possible from external drives or USB devices, depending on the fault.

External storage devices can fail due to physical damage, corruption, or connection issues. Recovery options depend on the device type and severity of damage.

Is data recovery guaranteed?

Quick answer: No, data recovery is never guaranteed due to the many variables involved.

Even with professional tools and methods, some data may be unrecoverable. We provide realistic expectations based on assessment results.
