Our Comprehensive Data Recovery Services
At Lifeguard Data Recovery, we specialize in a wide spectrum of storage media. We recognize that data loss does not discriminate between a small business owner and a multinational corporation.
Hard Drive and SSD Data Recovery
Whether it is a mechanical failure in a traditional Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or a controller malfunction in a Solid State Drive (SSD), we have the tools to intervene. SSD recovery requires a deep understanding of NAND flash memory and wear-leveling algorithms. Our engineers can perform chip-off recovery or controller bypass to access data that other shops might deem unrecoverable. For HDDs our Class 100 Cleanroom environment ensures that drive platters are handled without the risk of dust contamination, which is vital for physical head-swap procedures.
Video File Recovery for Professionals
Media professionals often face the nightmare of corrupted, deleted, or formatted video files. We provide specialized services for recovering high-resolution footage from RED Arri, Sony and Blackmagic cameras. Whether the file header is damaged or the metadata is missing, our team can manually reconstruct video frames to restore your project. This service is essential for production houses and independent creators who cannot afford to lose a day of filming.
Corporate RAID and Server Recovery
Our core specialty lies in Enterprise server RAID recovery India. We support all RAID levels, including . We handle failures involving SAN, NAS, and complex virtualized environments like VMware and Hyper-V. When multiple drives in an array fail simultaneously, or a RAID controller card burns out, our experts perform bit-level cloning of every healthy drive to virtually reconstruct the array without risking further damage to the original media.
Mobile and Portable Media Recovery
We offer advanced mobile data recovery for both iPhone and Android devices. This includes physical damage, water damage, and logical errors. Additionally, we recover data from USB flash drives, SD cards, and external backup drives. No matter how small the device, if it holds your business data, we have a pathway to retrieve it.
CCTV and DVR/NVR Data Recovery
In legal and security contexts, CCTV footage is often the only evidence available. If your DVR or NVR system has overwritten data, suffered a disk failure, or been intentionally damaged, we can assist. Our techniques allow us to extract raw video streams directly from the hard drives, bypassing proprietary file systems that often complicate standard recovery attempts.
Our Proven Recovery Process: Step-by-Step
We have refined our workflow to be as seamless and transparent as possible for our clients.
Step 1: Consultation and Initial Diagnosis
Everything starts with a conversation. You can contact us via phone or WhatsApp for an immediate consultation. We will discuss the symptoms of your device and provide initial guidance. Once the device is received, our engineers perform a thorough diagnostic to identify whether the issue is logical (software-based) or physical (hardware-based).
Step 2: Failure Analysis and Recovery Plan
After the diagnostic we provide you with a detailed report. This includes the probability of success, the estimated time required, and a transparent, fixed quote. We do not proceed until you have reviewed and approved the plan. There are no hidden fees or surprise costs.
Step 3: Secure Data Extraction and Reconstruction
In our secure lab we begin the technical work. If the drive is physically damaged we perform repairs in our cleanroom. We then create a sector-by-sector clone of the drive to work on a bit-stream image. This protects your original hardware from further stress. For RAID systems we use the clones to calculate parity and reconstruct the original file structure.
Step 4: Verification and Quality Control
Once the data is extracted we verify its integrity. We ensure that the most critical files such as databases financial spreadsheets, or high-res videos are functional. You will be provided with a file list to confirm that the data you need has been successfully recovered.
Step 5: Secure Data Delivery
Upon approval and payment, your recovered data is encrypted and transferred to a new, secure drive or uploaded to a private server for immediate access. We also provide post-recovery support to help you reintegrate the data into your systems.
Data Loss Issues We Fix
Data loss is often accompanied by a sense of panic but most issues are solvable with the right expertise.
Accidental Deletion and Formatting
Human error is a leading cause of data loss. Whether a partition was accidentally deleted during a Windows update or a drive was formatted by mistake, we can usually recover the underlying data as long as it has not been heavily overwritten. This applies to both individual workstations and large-scale server volumes.
Physical Damage and Environmental Factors
We see drives that have survived fires floods and high-impact drops. Power surges are also common in many regions leading to fried PCBs and motor failures. Our lab is equipped to handle these physical catastrophes, utilizing specialized donor parts and precision tools to stabilize the drive long enough to extract the data.
Virus and Ransomware Attacks
Cybersecurity threats like ransomware can lock your entire business out of its data. While encryption is difficult to break, we often find “shadow copies” or fragments of data that the malware missed. We also assist in cleaning infected drives to ensure that once your data is recovered, it is safe to use.
RAID Rebuild Failures
One of the most dangerous scenarios for a business is a failed RAID rebuild. When a drive fails and a replacement is inserted, the stress of the rebuild process often causes a second drive to fail. This crashes the entire volume. As Business RAID data recovery India specialists, we can step in at this critical juncture to manually align the data blocks and restore the array.
Costs and Pricing Insight
At Lifeguard Data Recovery, we believe in fair and transparent pricing. The cost of data recovery is never based on the “value” of the data, but rather on the time, labor, and technology required to retrieve it.
Several factors influence the final price:
Device Type: Recovering a single 2TB HDD is significantly different from recovering a 16-bay RAID 6 server.
Damage Type: Logical recoveries (deleted files) are generally less expensive than physical recoveries requiring cleanroom intervention and donor parts.
Storage Capacity: Larger drives take more time to clone and scan which can impact the labor hours required.
Urgency: We offer standard priority and emergency services. Emergency cases are worked on 24/7 until the data is recovered, which carries a premium.
While it is impossible to give an exact price without a diagnosis, basic logical recoveries often start in a lower range, while complex enterprise RAID reconstructions are quoted based on the number of drives and the severity of the file system corruption. We provide a guaranteed quote after the free diagnosis, so you always know what to expect.
Helpful Advice for Data Emergencies
What you do in the first ten minutes after discovering data loss can determine whether your data is recoverable.
What to Do Immediately
Power Down: If you hear clicking, grinding, or if your server shows a RAID failure, turn it off immediately. Continued operation can cause permanent platter scratching.
Unplug: Disconnect the power source to prevent further electrical damage or automatic “repair” cycles that might overwrite data.
Document: Take a photo of any error messages on the screen. This helps our engineers diagnose the problem faster.
What NOT to Do
Do Not Use DIY Software: Cheap or free recovery software can often write data back to the drive you are trying to save, making professional recovery impossible.
Do Not Open the Drive: Never open a hard drive outside of a certified cleanroom. A single speck of dust can crash the heads and destroy the data forever.
Do Not Force a RAID Rebuild: If your RAID is in a degraded state and the rebuild fails, stop. Forcing it can lead to “parity corruption,” which is much harder to fix.
Moving forward, we recommend the 3-2-1 backup rule: three copies of your data, on two different media types, with one copy stored off-site. For businesses, implementing an automated cloud backup alongside a local NAS is the best defense against hardware failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the chances of a successful RAID recovery?
Success depends on the extent of physical damage and whether the data has been overwritten. However, for most RAID failures involving controller issues or multiple disk failures, our success rate exceeds 95%.
2. How long does the recovery process take?
Standard recovery typically takes 3 to 5 business days. Emergency services can often be completed within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the drive’s capacity and health.
3. Is my data kept confidential?
Yes. We sign NDAs with our corporate clients. All data is handled in a secure, monitored lab, and we never store your data longer than necessary for you to verify the recovery.
4. Can you recover data from a “clicking” hard drive?
Yes. A clicking sound usually indicates a mechanical failure of the head assembly. We can replace these parts in our Cleanroom to stabilize the drive for data extraction.
5. Do you support all brands of servers?
We support all major brands, including Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant, IBM System x, Lenovo ThinkSystem, and various NAS brands like Synology and QNAP.
6. What if my RAID controller is dead?
A dead controller is not a problem. We don’t need your original controller to recover the data; we can emulate the controller’s logic using our professional software tools.
7. Can you recover data from encrypted drives?
Yes, provided you have the encryption key or password. We can work with BitLocker, FileVault, and various hardware-level encryption methods.
8. Do I pay if the data isn’t recovered?
No. Our “No Data, No Fee” policy means that if we cannot recover your required files, you do not pay the recovery service charge.
9. Why is RAID recovery more expensive than single drive recovery?
RAID recovery is significantly more complex. It requires imaging multiple drives, identifying the correct stripe size, drive order, and parity map before the data can even be seen.
10. How do I send my device to you?
You can drop it off at our local service centers or we can arrange for a secure courier pickup across the UAE and India.
