Data Recovery Services

Jim’s I.T provides onsite data recovery services across all suburbs and can recover data for both home and business users. Our data recovery technicians can be at your home or business within two hours and begin the data recovery process.

It’s important that you act now, to prevent any further data loss. If you suspect your computer has a failed hard drive, or has crashed, turn it off straight away and call us on 0800 454 654. The faster you phone us, the higher the chances of recovering your data.

If you hear any clicking or grinding noises, turn your computer off straight away. This means your hard drive has become damaged, and the longer you use the computer the higher the risk of the hard drive completely failing, making data recovery more difficult.

We can recover data from the following computers & devices:

  • Hard drives
  • SSD drives
  • RAID systems
  • Memory cards
  • Servers
  • Smartphones
  • USB drives
  • SD cards
