Our Data Recovery Services
We provide a comprehensive range of recovery solutions designed to address every possible failure mode, from simple file deletions to complex server crashes.
Hard Drive Data Recovery (HDD & SSD)
Our core expertise lies in rescuing data from traditional mechanical hard drives (HDD) and modern solid-state drives (SSD). We handle mechanical failures such as clicking heads, seized motors, and platter damage within our Class 100 Cleanroom. For SSD data recovery Dubai, our engineers specialize in controller-bypass and NAND flash chip-off techniques, allowing us to reconstruct data even when the drive’s electrical components have completely failed.
Video File Recovery
For the UAE’s thriving media and production industry, we offer specialized video file recovery services. We can reconstruct corrupted, truncated, or accidentally formatted video files from professional cinema cameras (RED, Arri, Blackmagic), drones, and high-speed SD cards. Our proprietary tools can stitch together fragmented video data that standard software often misses.
Mobile Data Recovery (iPhone & Android)
Smartphones often contain our most precious personal data. Our iPhone and Android data recovery services cover everything from liquid damage and “bricked” devices to encrypted file retrieval. We perform micro-soldering on logic boards to temporarily restore power or use chip-off forensics to extract data directly from the device’s internal memory.
RAID and Server Recovery
Business continuity depends on the integrity of your servers. We are experts in RAID data recovery services UAE and Server data recovery Dubai. Whether you are dealing with a failed RAID 5 array, a corrupted SQL database, or a crashed virtual machine, our team can perform remote or in-lab reconstructions to get your business back online with minimal downtime.
Specialized Storage Media
Our capabilities extend to NAS storage recovery Dubai, USB/Flash drive data retrieval, and External hard drive recovery. We also provide forensic-level data extraction for CCTV, DVR, and NVR systems, which is often crucial for legal and security investigations. No matter the device from a simple thumb drive to a multi-petabyte storage area network we have the tools to recover it.
Process / How It Works
Our streamlined 5-step process is designed to be transparent and secure from start to finish.
-
Free Consultation and Diagnosis: Every project begins with a detailed intake and a non-destructive evaluation. We examine the device to determine the root cause of failure whether logical, electrical, or mechanical.
-
Device Inspection and Failure Analysis: Our engineers use advanced diagnostic tools to map out the damaged sectors or failed components, creating a customized recovery roadmap for your specific device.
-
Recovery Plan and Transparent Quote: You will receive a comprehensive report detailing what can be recovered along with a fixed-rate quote. We proceed only after your explicit approval.
-
Secure Data Extraction and Verification: The recovery takes place in our secure lab. Once the data is extracted, we verify the integrity of the files to ensure they are functional and complete.
-
Data Delivery and Support: Your recovered files are encrypted and transferred to a new, secure drive of your choice. We remain available for post-recovery support to assist with data integration and backup advice.
Issues We Fix
We solve the “unsolvable” by addressing the most common and complex causes of data loss.
-
Accidental Deletion or Formatting: We utilize deep-sector scanning to find and restore files that have been removed from the file system map but still reside on the physical storage platters or chips.
-
Corrupted Video Files and Unreadable Drives: When a drive shows as “unformatted” or “RAW,” we bypass the operating system’s limitations to access the raw hex data.
-
Physical Damage: From water damaged phone data recovery Dubai to drives that have survived fires or high-impact drops, our cleanroom technicians can physically repair the internal hardware.
-
Cyber Attacks and Ransomware: Our Ransomware data recovery services focus on identifying the encryption variant and attempting to find flaws in the malware’s execution or utilizing volume shadow copies and snapshots to roll back the damage.
-
RAID Failure and Server Downtime: We handle parity errors, controller failures, and accidental re-initializations of enterprise-level storage systems.
Pricing Insight
At Lifeguard Data Recovery, we believe in a value-based approach that prioritizes transparency. While we do not offer “one-size-fits-all” pricing, we categorize costs based on the severity of the damage and the specialized equipment required.
A simple logical recovery, such as recovering deleted photo recovery services, requires different resources than a complex mechanical repair involving head-stack replacement in a cleanroom.
Factors that influence the complexity of the recovery include the device’s storage capacity, the type of encryption used, and the urgency of the request.
We provide a detailed estimate after our free diagnosis, ensuring you understand the scope of work before any costs are incurred. Our “No Data, No Fee” policy remains the ultimate safeguard for our clients, ensuring that you only invest in successful results.
Tips and Helpful Advice
The moments immediately following data loss are the most critical. To maximize your chances of a successful recovery:
-
STOP using the device immediately: Continued use can overwrite deleted files or turn a minor mechanical issue into a catastrophic head crash.
-
Do NOT attempt DIY software: On a physically failing drive, recovery software can stress the hardware to the point of total failure.
-
Avoid “Home Remedies”: Never put a hard drive in a freezer or a water-damaged phone in rice. These methods introduce contaminants and corrosion that can make professional recovery impossible.
-
Verify your Backups: Regularly test your backup drives. A backup that hasn’t been verified is not a backup.
-
Consult Professionals Early: The first recovery attempt is always the most successful. Don’t let an inexperienced technician “experiment” with your data.

Case Studies and Success Stories
Case Study 1: Enterprise RAID 10 Recovery
A Dubai-based logistics company suffered a multi-drive failure on their primary database server. Local IT teams were unable to mount the array. Lifeguard Data Recovery engineers performed a physical repair on two of the failed drives in our cleanroom and used virtual RAID reconstruction to bypass the failed controller. Result: 100% data restoration of their SQL database within 36 hours, preventing a total operational shutdown.
Case Study 2: Forensic Video Retrieval for Legal Evidence
A legal firm required the recovery of deleted CCTV footage from a DVR system involved in a high-profile case. The data had been marked as “deleted” for over a week. Using our advanced file carving techniques, we bypassed the DVR’s proprietary file system and successfully extracted the critical video fragments. Result: Key evidence was restored and verified for court use.
Case Study 3: Water Damaged iPhone Recovery
A traveler in Dubai accidentally dropped their iPhone into the sea, losing years of irreplaceable travel photos. The device was completely unresponsive. Our micro-soldering team cleaned the logic board of salt-water corrosion and replaced shorted capacitors to temporarily boot the device. Result: All 12,000 photos were successfully backed up and delivered to the client on a secure drive.

Yes, we are the leading experts for MacBook / Apple data recovery Dubai, handling everything from older HDD Macs to the latest M1/M2/M3 chips with integrated storage.
Can I bring my device to your office?
Certainly. We have a physical service center in Dubai and also offer secure pickup and delivery services across the UAE.
Is it possible to recover data from a drive that was formatted?
In most cases, yes. As long as new data hasn’t been written over the old files, our tools can usually find the original data structures.
Do you provide a list of files before I pay?
Yes, we provide a file verification list so you can see exactly what has been recovered before finalizing the process.
What should I do if my hard drive starts making a clicking sound?
Turn it off immediately. A clicking sound indicates a mechanical failure. Running the drive further will cause permanent damage to the platters.
Why shouldn’t I use free recovery software?
Free software often lacks the ability to handle physical defects. If a drive has “bad sectors,” the software may get stuck, causing the drive to overheat and fail completely.
