Dead drive, a computer that won’t start, or files that suddenly disappeared? Jim recovers photos, documents, and business files from failed, corrupted, and dead drives, including advanced recovery that goes beyond simple file copying, and sets up backups so you don’t have to go through it again.
Every minute it runs can make things worse
Those sounds usually mean a mechanical failure.
Some of them overwrite the data you want back.
Neither one helps.
Jim checks the drive and works out what kind of failure it is.
You’re told what’s realistic, because not every failure can be fully recovered, and what it will cost before any work begins.
Jim recovers what can be saved and puts it on a new drive or storage you choose.
At the end, you can look through your recovered files yourself.
Most data loss is preventable. Jim sets up automatic backups so a failed drive or a virus doesn’t mean lost files.
External Drive Backups. Simple and inexpensive.
Network Storage. A private storage device on your own network, with no monthly cloud fee. Synology network storage is available from Jim.
Cloud Backups. Your files are copied off-site automatically.
Many people use more than one, so a single failure can’t take everything.
Jim comes to your home or office in Huntington Beach and nearby Orange County communities.
Stop by Jim’s Huntington Beach home office during business hours with the drive or computer. No appointment needed.
Backup setup can often be done remotely. Recovering data from a failed drive needs the drive in hand
No. Some failures can’t be fully recovered, and Jim won’t promise what he can’t deliver. He’ll tell you what’s realistic before you spend money.
Often, yes. The files are stored on the drive, so they can sometimes be saved even when the computer is beyond repair.
It depends on the type of failure and how much data there is. You’ll have an idea after the diagnosis. If Jim can’t recover your files, you don’t pay for the recovery.
You’re told the cost before any work begins.
It depends on how much you have and how you work. Jim will recommend a setup that fits, and he can set it up for you.
Sometimes. Stop using the computer or drive right away and call, because new data can overwrite what you deleted.
