Why backup matters
Backup — before you need it

Frequently asked questions
Can you recover files from a laptop that won't turn on?
Often, yes. If a laptop won't power on, the drive inside may still be readable. We can usually remove the drive and assess it separately, then let you know whether the data can be recovered. It depends on the condition of the drive, so we can't promise a result until we've looked at it.
Can you recover deleted files?
In many cases, yes — especially if you stop using the device as soon as you notice files are missing. Deleted files can be overwritten by new data, which makes recovery harder, so it's best to switch the device off and bring it in. Success depends on how much has been overwritten since.
Can you recover data from a failed hard drive?
It depends on the type of failure. Some drives can be read with the right tools, while others with physical damage may need specialist clean-room work. We'll assess the drive first and give you an honest view of what's realistic, with no obligation.
Can you recover data from an SSD?
Sometimes. SSDs behave differently from traditional hard drives, and recovery depends on the specific fault — some are recoverable, others are not. We'll assess the drive and tell you honestly whether recovery looks possible.
Should I keep using a failing hard drive?
No — stop using it as soon as you can. Every time a failing drive is powered up, there's a risk it will fail completely. Switch the device off, don't keep restarting it, and bring it in for assessment as soon as possible.
How much does data recovery cost?
It depends on the device, the type of failure and how much work is involved. We'll assess it first and give you an honest idea of the cost and the likely chances before any work goes ahead. There's no obligation to proceed.
