The Data Recovery Services of Internet Desk, Inc.
All Media Types can experience data loss. Whether your problem is with a standard hard disk drive, notebook disk drives, floppy drive diskettes, Zip drive disks, CD media, tapes, flash cards -- virtually everywhere data is stored -- we can help recover and rebuild your data.
DOS, Windows, and Macintosh are the the most commonly used operating systems, but our experience doesn't end there. We have technical specialists for all platforms and operating systems including tape, Raid, SQL, DLT, DOS, Windows, MAC, Netware, UNIX, XENIX, NT, OS2, SOLARIS, HPUX, IRIX, and AIX.
Your Place or Ours? Most data recovery work is done in our lab, but sometimes the situation calls for a visit to your location. All accross the U.S.A. or around the globe, we can put our specialists to work for you in the location that will serve your needs best.
A Free Initial Consultation will enable us to outline the right plan for your data recovery need. No job is too small and no job is too large. Simply contact us through our Help! E-Mail Form to get started on your road to recovery.
Test and protect your backups. Don't rest easy just because you have a backup system. It is important to test your backups by restoring them to another machine from time to time. Also, as you practice a backup routine, take copies of your data backups away from the location of the machine. That way, a fire or flood disaster would be less likely to destroy both copies of the data.
Double format recovery: A small business approached us to recover data from a drive that had been accidentally reformatted. Not only were we able to fully recover the lost data, but a bonus as well. When the recovered data was reviewed by our client they discovered files that had been missing since the time the drive was formatted two years prior.

Rotate your media
so that you always have at least one backup copy from the previous backup. Many will use daily tapes, backing up on Monday to the Monday tape, Tuesday to the Tuesday tape, etc. That way, if you have a failure and your most current backup is bad, you get another shot with the one that's a day older.
Floppy fire fight: A photographer of the digital persuasion had just finished a trip to three different cities where he recorded the images of a client's possessions for insurance purposes. The very next day -- before he had a chance to make copies of his work -- a fire destroyed his apartment. Not all was consumed, though. While sifting through the debris, he found the box of 1.44 floppies where all of the images of the last trip were stored. We put on our fire hats and went to work. One by one, slowly, they came back -- like the Phoenix rising from the ashes. We managed recovery of about 90% of the images, saving our client's relationship with his customer and preventing the cost of re-shooting the 10-day project.
