ADVICE on prof. hdd data recovery - GoFuckYourself.com

noooze · 04-18-2008, 04:43 PM

I thought i had raid one, on my new server.
I specifyed that i needed some good way of dealing with hardware failure, and was promised it.
Had data loss 2 months ago, i suffered some data loss. Tried to get someone to look at it - but it seemed like they didnt take me seriouly, and i was told i was Human Error, eventhough i had been nowhere near that hdd for weeks.

My own back up died 2 days ago, when my external burned off.

today my sites was acting a bit wierd - thought it was ddos or something.

CHOCK

Was told my hdd was stopping.

now - i have lost everything - as i had no raid 1 - and no home backup
( wonder if karma is trying to tell me something. )

Have contacted one company - but they ask 2500 - 3500 dollars.
As my income is right now a bit fat ZERO
i was wondering if it can be done cheaper but professionally ?

my server is in texas - so im looking for an american company - i need to get my sites up and running

please advice

Yeah it is expensive. Only time I ever sprung for HDD recovery I think I paid around $2000.

if the data has no value to you I am sure you can find some free software that may or may not work.

I know a company that can do it, but not for free.

well the data is very very valuble.

but my cash flow is low.... meaning, if i can get a recovery for 2k i wouldt like it much more than 3,5 k.
I invested alot of money last week, draining my stash of cash... seems like a bad idea right now
