In a region where time is money, our efficiency and technical depth make us the most trusted name in corporate data restoration.
Our Data Recovery Services
We provide a full spectrum of managed data recovery for companies India and the UAE, supporting every storage architecture currently used in the modern workplace.
Hard Drive Data Recovery (HDD & SSD)
Hard Disk Drives (HDD) remain the backbone of high-capacity storage. We handle mechanical issues like “the click of death,” seized spindles, and burnt PCBs. Our lab is one of the few capable of working on the latest helium-filled drives from Seagate and Western Digital. For Solid State Drives (SSD), we specialize in controller failure recovery. Because SSDs have no moving parts, their failures are usually electronic or firmware-based. We desolder NAND flash chips and read them directly using specialized readers, reconstructing the data even if the drive is physically snapped or burnt.
Video File Recovery (Corrupted & Deleted)
Media production is a massive industry in Dubai and Mumbai. We support filmmakers and creative agencies by recovering footage from professional formats like CinemaDNG, ProRes, and RAW. Whether a file was corrupted due to a sudden power loss on set or a memory card was accidentally formatted, our reconstruction algorithms can “carve” the data out of the raw sectors, repairing the headers to make the video playable again.
Mobile Data Recovery (iPhone & Android)
The smartphones of executives often contain the only copies of sensitive meeting recordings or encrypted messages. We perform high-level microsoldering and “chip-off” procedures to recover data from devices that are completely dead, water-damaged, or physically destroyed. Our forensic tools allow us to bypass boot loops and OS crashes to extract the underlying user data.
RAID and Server Recovery
Nothing is more critical than a server. We are experts in server & workstation hard drive recovery India. We handle RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50 configurations across all vendors including Dell, HP, IBM, and Lenovo. Even if multiple drives in your array have failed, we can often clone the individual disks in our cleanroom and virtually rebuild the striping and parity in our lab environment to recover the entire volume.
USB Memory Card and External Drive Recovery
Portable storage is prone to physical damage. We repair broken USB connectors and use specialized NAND readers to bypass the controller on SD, microSD, and CompactFlash cards used in professional photography and data transfer.
Laptop and Mac Data Recovery
We are specialists in Apple’s proprietary storage. From the older removable SSDs to the modern M1, M2, and M3 MacBooks where the storage is integrated into the logic board, we use specialized power-injection and data-probing techniques to retrieve your files without needing to “wipe” the device as a standard Apple store would.
CCTV and DVR/NVR Data Recovery
In cases of security breaches or internal investigations, surveillance footage is vital. We recover data from DVR and NVR systems that have been formatted, overwritten, or suffered hardware failure, providing high-resolution evidence for corporate security teams.
Process How It Works
Our corporate IT data recovery services India and UAE follow a rigorous forensic protocol to ensure the highest probability of success.
Free Consultation and Diagnosis
Your journey starts with a free consultation with a senior recovery advisor. We arrange for a secure, anti-static pickup of your media. Once it arrives at our lab, we perform a non-invasive diagnostic to identify the specific failure point—whether it is the read/write heads, the firmware service area, or logical file system corruption.
Device Inspection and Failure Analysis
Every drive is opened only inside our Class 100 cleanroom to prevent dust contamination. We check the platters for physical scratches and test the electrical components of the PCB. This stage is crucial for providing an accurate estimate of the recovery potential.
Recovery Plan and Transparent Quote
We send you a comprehensive report detailing the “health” of your data. You receive a fixed-price quote. Unlike other providers, we do not charge “attempt fees” or hidden “parts fees.” You only pay if we can recover the data you need.
Secure Data Extraction and Verification
Using specialized hardware imagers, we create a 1:1 clone of the failing media. We perform all recovery work on the clone, never the original. This ensures that even if a drive is in its final minutes of life, we maximize the chance of a successful read. We then verify the file integrity against your specific requirements.
Data Delivery and Post-Recovery Support
The recovered data is transferred to a new, secure, hardware-encrypted drive. We can ship this to your office or provide a secure download link for smaller, urgent datasets. We maintain your data in a secure, offline vault for 14 days to ensure you have successfully restored it to your systems, after which it is wiped according to Department of Defense (DoD) standards.
Issues We Fix Impact and Resolution
Business Downtime Due to Server Failure
A server crash can cost a company thousands of dollars per hour. We mitigate this by offering 24/7 emergency response. Our engineers prioritize RAID reconstruction, working in shifts to ensure that your databases (SQL, Oracle, Exchange) are back online in the shortest possible window. We understand the “panic” of a server room failure and provide a calm, technical solution.
Lost CCTV Footage Impacting Investigations
Surveillance drives often use proprietary file systems that standard computers cannot read. When these drives fail or are intentionally formatted to hide evidence, our forensic tools can bypass the DVR interface and pull the raw video streams directly from the disk sectors, providing the evidence needed for legal or insurance claims.
Corrupted Video Files for Media Professionals
A media professional losing a day’s worth of 8K footage is facing a reputation crisis. We specialize in repairing “un-finalized” videos and files that show a size of 0KB. Our bit-stream reconstruction can often save 99% of the footage, even if the file headers are completely missing.
Personal Memory Loss and Irreplaceable Assets
We treat personal data with the same urgency as corporate data. Whether it is a lifetime of family photos or a PhD thesis, we understand the emotional distress of data loss. Our empathetic approach combined with professional-grade tools ensures the best chance of rescuing your digital life.
Costs and Pricing Insight
At Lifeguard Data Recovery, we believe that transparency builds trust. While every case is unique, we provide clear pricing brackets for our managed data recovery for companies India and UAE-wide.
Logical Data Loss (Format/Deletion): 300 to 950 AED. This covers cases where the drive is physically healthy but the data is inaccessible due to software issues.
Minor Hardware Issues (Firmware/Bad Sectors): 800 to 1,500 AED. This involves using specialized hardware to bypass “unreadable” areas of the drive or repairing the drive’s internal microcode.
Major Mechanical Failure (Cleanroom): 1,200 to 4,000+ AED. This is for drives that require physical parts replacement, such as head stack assemblies or motor repairs. The cost reflects the use of our cleanroom and the acquisition of donor hardware.
Enterprise RAID Systems: Pricing is based on the number of drives in the array and the level of urgency. We proide a custom quote within 4 hours of receiving the media.
Tips and Helpful Advice for Data Emergencies
What you do in the first five minutes after a drive failure determines if the data is lost forever.
What to Do Immediately
Power Down: If you hear a clicking, grinding, or whirring noise, turn the machine off at the wall. Do not use the “Shut Down” command as the OS may attempt to write data during the process.
Unplug External Devices: If an external hard drive is not recognized, unplug it. Repeatedly “trying” to see if it woks will only degrade the mechanical parts.
Call the Professionals: Contact a certified lab. The success rate for a first-time recovery attempt is significantly higher than subsequent attempts after someone has already tampered with the drive.
What NOT to Do
Never Open the Drive: Opening a hard drive in a standard office or home environment will allow millions of dust particles to land on the platters. When the drive spins, the heads will “crash” into these particles, causing permanent scratches.
Avoid “Chkdsk” or “Disk Utility”: These system tools are designed to fix the file system, but they are very “aggressive.” On a failing drive, they can finish off a dying head or overwrite the very data you are trying to save.
Ignore the Freezer Myth: Putting a drive in a freezer creates condensation when it is brought back to room temperature. This moisture can short out the PCB or cause the heads to stick to the platters.

Case Studies and Success Stories
Case Study 1: The Flooded Server Room in Dubai
The Challenge: A logistics company in Jebel Ali suffered a pipe burst in their server room. Their primary RAID 5 array, containing all shipping manifests and customs documents, was submerged in water for six hours.
Our Approach: We performed a manual decontamination of each platter in our cleanroom, using ultrasonic cleaning for the PCBs. We then replaced the head assemblies on three out of the five drives.
The Result: 100% data recovery within 72 hours. The company was able to resume operations without a single lost record.
Case Study 2 The Dead SSD of a Mumbai Fintech CEO
The Challenge: A CEO’s laptop was crushed in a car accident. The NVMe SSD was bent, and the controller chip was cracked. The data was protected by enterprise-level BitLocker encryption.
Our Approach: Our microsoldering team performed a “chip-swap,” moving the NAND flash memory chips to a donor board with a matching controller. We then utilized the client’s recovery key to decrypt the raw image.
