Data Tape Recovery Services in London

Here at Disk Doctors, we have over 30 years of experience with data recovery in the UK. We can quickly help you with tape data recovery in London, whether it's a drive crash or accidentally deleted files. Our team has extensive experience working with tapes used across a variety of systems, including backups from laptops of all major brands, including HP, Dell, Lenovo, MacBook, and more. Our efficient tape recovery service offers great results, even if you think the lost files may be lost forever.

We use state-of-the-art recovery tools, specialised tape drives, and software to extract data from damaged or corrupted tapes. Our lab is equipped with cutting-edge technology to ensure the best possible recovery outcome. In the unlikely event that we can't provide full data tape recovery, you won't be charged.

Data loss can come from a variety of reasons, ranging from accidental mistakes to severe physical damage. Luckily, our expert team specialises in recovering lost data from all types of tape failures.

You may have mistakenly deleted or overwritten critical data during backup operations or accidentally dropped or scratched the tape. Tape drives can also wear out over time or become damaged when exposed to water, smoke or extreme heat. Equally, corrupt backup software, failed writes, or incomplete backups can make it difficult to retrieve data.

Our recovery specialists use advanced techniques to retrieve lost files, even when standard restoration methods fail. We can handle tape data recovery in our labs, which are equipped to handle water-damaged and environmentally compromised tapes. We also use tape recovery software on corrupted tape drives to extract data directly from the tape, restoring as much information as possible.

It's easy to get data tape recovery services from Disk Doctors. You can submit your case online and we'll be in touch to send you a free shipping label so that we can assess your tape drive. We'll provide you with a free no-obligation evaluation and quote for our proposed backup tape recovery plan. If you accept the quote, we will start the data tape recovery work immediately, with results in as little as 24 to 48 hours.

Along with our tape backup recovery services, we also offer laptop recovery, Mac recovery and hard drive recovery.

Losing access to critical data stored on LTO tapes can be stressful. However, our LTO tape data recovery in London can help you regain access to files within a matter of days, even if the laptop itself is no longer functional.

If your tape drive has suffered liquid damage (such as spills, floods, or moisture exposure), your backup tapes may hold the only copies of your important files. It's very important to act quickly to improve our chances of successfully recovering your data from the tape drive. We use specialist LTO tape recovery software and tools to help us access the data and save it elsewhere. Our LTO tape data recovery solutions are competitively priced and could help you recover data within 24 to 48 hours.

If your tape drive is damaged and you've lost access to critical data, your DAT backup tapes may be the key to recovering important files. We offer DAT tape recovery whether your laptop screen has broken, the laptop has been dropped, crushed, or has otherwise been physically damaged. We can also offer DAT tape recovery if your hard drive, motherboard, or the keyboard has failed.

As part of our assessment, we will inspect the DAT tape for physical or logical damage. If the tape is damaged, we carefully clean and restore it or use advanced recovery tools to retrieve lost or corrupted data.

While it can be tempting to try a DIY solution with tape data recovery software, you'll have better success rates with our professional services. Software may help with minor file corruption or accidental deletion, but it can't recover data from physically damaged tapes or faulty tape drives. Recovery software could also overwrite or degrade existing data and make it more difficult to recover. As part of our services, we also offer external drive recovery and hard drive recovery in London.

Disk Doctors guarantees protection of your data throughout the data recovery process, from evaluation to handing data back to the client.

1. Disk Doctor Employees are selected through a rigorous process of selection and follow our strict rules and procedures for handling the client data.
2. Client media is cloned sector by sector onto our own lab media and all the data recovery work is carried out on the cloned media not the original media; this ensures that client’s storage media is always intact.
3. Upon successful recovery Disk Doctors by default keeps a copy of the data for 7days before it gets deleted automatically from our Lab Server. This helps in providing the copy of data again if some thing goes wrong during the transfer of data to client e.g. the data media gets damage or goes missing during the postal process.
4. Our agreement to recover the data includes the clause for protection and non disclosure of data as per legal rules and regulations. If you require separate agreement for data protection and non disclosure, we are happy to sign the agreement.
