Our Data Recovery Services
Hard Drive Data Recovery (HDD and SSD)
Whether your device is an old-school mechanical Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or a modern Solid State Drive (SSD), we provide Instant Hard Drive Recovery Dubai. We handle mechanical failures like clicking heads or seized motors in our ISO Class 5 Cleanroom. For SSDs, we specialize in bypassing controller failures and reconstructing data directly from NAND flash chips, even when the drive is not detected by your computer.
Video File Recovery
For media professionals and production houses in Dubai Media City, losing footage is a nightmare. We offer specialized Video File Recovery for corrupted, deleted, or formatted files. Our engineers can reconstruct fragmented video files from professional cameras, ensuring that hours of production work are not lost to a single card error.
Mobile Data Recovery (iPhone and Android)
Your smartphone holds your life contacts, messages, and years of photos. We provide Urgent Data Retrieval Dubai for mobile devices suffering from liquid damage, smashed logic boards, or “boot loop” errors. We use forensic methods to extract data from both iOS and Android platforms safely.
RAID and Server Recovery
When a business server fails, every hour of downtime results in financial loss. We offer On-site Data Recovery Dubai for RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10 configurations. Our specialists can manually reconstruct RAID parity, bypassing hardware controller failures to restore your databases and shared network drives immediately.
USB, Memory Card, and External Drive Recovery
Small devices often face the most physical abuse. We recover data from snapped USB ports, corrupted SD cards, and dropped external drives. If your drive is asking to be formatted or shows as “RAW,” we can extract your files without losing your folder structure.
CCTV and DVR/NVR Data Recovery
Security footage is often required for legal or investigative purposes. If your DVR has overwritten footage or the hard drive has failed, we can perform specialized forensic recovery to retrieve critical video evidence for businesses across the UAE.

Issues We Fix
Data loss is often accompanied by a sense of panic. We solve the most common and the most complex problems facing UAE residents and businesses.
-
Accidental Deletion or Formatting: Human error is the leading cause of data loss. We use sector-level scanning to find files even after a disk has been wiped.
-
Physical Damage: Whether your laptop was dropped in a Dubai fountain, caught in a fire, or suffered a power surge during a thunderstorm, our hardware experts can rebuild the device.
-
Operating System Crashes: If your computer won’t boot or shows the “Blue Screen of Death,” the data is likely still there; we just need to bypass the OS to get to it.
-
Virus and Ransomware Attacks: We help businesses recover files encrypted by malicious software, using advanced decryption tools and shadow copy reconstruction.
-
RAID Failure: When multiple drives in an array fail simultaneously, we perform manual reconstruction to get your business back online.
Costs and Pricing Insight
At Lifeguard Data Recovery, we believe in transparency. The cost of Emergency File Restoration Dubai depends on the complexity of the task rather than the volume of data.
-
Logical Recovery (Software Issues): This includes deleted files or formatted drives where the hardware is still healthy.
-
Physical/Mechanical Damage: Cases requiring cleanroom intervention or part replacement (like donor heads) Complex Server/RAID Recovery: Due to the time-intensive nature of reconstructing multi-disk arrays, these services are quoted after a detailed diagnosis, .
We provide a No Data, No Fee guarantee, ensuring you only pay for a successful result. Emergency or “Same Day” requests may carry a priority surcharge to cover the 24/7 dedicated engineering time required.
Tips and Helpful Advice
What you do in the first ten minutes after discovering data loss determines the success of the recovery.
What to do immediately:
-
Power Off: Shut down the device immediately. If it is a clicking hard drive, every second of power causes the damaged heads to scrape the magnetic platters, leading to permanent loss.
-
Disconnect: Remove the USB or external drive from the computer.
-
Call a Professional: Contact a Professional File Recovery Services provider like Lifeguard for a free phone consultation.
What NOT to do:
-
Do Not Use Recovery Software on the Same Drive: Installing “free” software on the drive you just lost data from will overwrite the very files you are trying to save.
-
Do Not Open the Drive: Opening a hard drive outside of a Class 100 Cleanroom introduces dust particles that act like sandpaper on your data platters.
-
Do Not “Freeze” the Drive: Old myths about putting drives in freezers are dangerous and cause moisture damage that ruins modern electronics.
