Stop using a failing drive
When a drive clicks, disappears, reports errors, or becomes extremely slow, continued use can reduce the chance of recovery. Shut the system down and avoid repeated repair attempts until the storage device is evaluated.
Recovery options depend on the failure
Logical file-system damage may be recoverable with software tools. Physically damaged drives may require a specialized clean-room recovery laboratory. CSI can help determine the appropriate next step and assist with recovered-data transfer.
A backup is useful only when it can be restored
We help configure practical local or cloud backups and review whether the selected folders are actually protected. For important business files, multiple backup copies and periodic recovery testing are strongly recommended.
