Understanding Recovery Levels
Data Recovery can be broken down into 3 recovery levels.
Level 1 – Logical Repair
Level 2 – Drive Failure
Level 3 – Mechanical Failure.
During the evaluation phase we will determine the level of service needed.
While some recovery companies will give you a huge range to recover your
data we offer fixed recovery pricing based only on the level of service needed.
This is a more honest approach to recovering data.
