Our Data Recovery Services
The diversity of storage technology in the UAE market requires a versatile and highly specialized approach. We do not offer a “one-size-fits-all” solution; instead, we tailor our techniques to the specific device and failure mode.
Hard Drive and SSD Data Recovery
Hard drives and Solid State Drives remain the core of our expertise. We are the leading SSD data recovery specialists Dubai, capable of handling complex NAND flash degradation and controller failures. While traditional HDDs often suffer from mechanical issues, SSDs present a different set of challenges related to electronic wear and encryption.
Our lab utilizes advanced hardware-level tools to communicate directly with memory chips, ensuring we can recover data from even the most non-responsive drives. We also provide NVMe and M.2 SSD chip-level recovery for modern, high-performance workstations.
Video File Recovery
For filmmakers, content creators, and media agencies, a corrupted video file is a professional disaster. Our video file recovery services can reconstruct fragmented or unplayable footage from high-end cinema cameras, drones, and professional editing rigs. We specialize in repairing file headers and metadata for files that have been deleted, formatted, or corrupted during a transfer.
Mobile Data Recovery
Your smartphone is the repository of your daily life. Our iPhone and Android mobile data retrieval services are designed to rescue photos, messages, and app data from devices that have suffered from severe physical damage, water exposure, or logic board failure. We utilize micro-soldering for logic board data access, allowing us to bypass physical damage to reach the internal storage.
RAID and Server Recovery
For a business, a crashed server is an emergency of the highest order. We provide advanced RAID 5 and NAS restoration UAE, addressing issues ranging from multiple drive failures to complex configuration errors. Our team provides urgent RAID server recovery Dubai, ensuring that your virtual machines, SQL databases, and shared office drives are restored with minimal downtime.
External and Removable Media Recovery
Portable storage is prone to frequent physical stress. We provide expert damaged external HDD repair Dubai and corrupted SD card and USB flash drive restoration. Whether a connector has snapped or an SD card has become “unreadable” in your camera, we have the specialized equipment to read the raw data directly from the storage chips.
Laptop and Mac Data Recovery
A broken MacBook Pro data recovery Dubai case requires specific knowledge of Apple’s proprietary file systems and security chips. We support all laptop brands and are particularly skilled in bypassing the T2 and M-series security protocols to extract data from non-booting MacBooks. Our crashed laptop data recovery Dubai Marina team is available for same-day assessments to keep your work week on track.
CCTV and DVR/NVR Data Recovery
Security footage is often vital evidence. We provide specialized recovery for CCTV and DVR/NVR systems, using forensic tools to rebuild video fragments and restore unreadable footage. This service is essential for businesses needing evidence for legal investigations or insurance claims.
Process / How It Works
We have streamlined our professional workflow to ensure transparency and speed at every step. Our five-stage path to recovery is designed to keep you informed and in control.
-
Free Consultation and Diagnosis: The process begins with a professional intake. You can drop off your device at our JLT or Bur Dubai locations, or request our free UAE-wide pickup service. Our engineers perform an initial check to understand the symptoms and failure mode.
-
Device Inspection and Failure Analysis: Once in our lab, your media undergoes a thorough forensic data extraction Dubai diagnosis. If the device has physical damage, this work is conducted exclusively in our ISO Class 100 Cleanroom to prevent contamination.
-
Recovery Plan and Transparent Quote: We provide a detailed report on the condition of your drive and a fixed-price quote for the recovery. There are no hidden fees, and you decide whether to proceed based on the likelihood of success.
-
Secure Data Extraction and Verification: Using advanced tools like the PC-3000 suite, we create a bit-by-bit clone of your media. This ensures we never work on your original data. We then reconstruct the file system and verify that your critical files are intact.
-
Data Delivery and Post-Recovery Support: Upon successful recovery, your data is transferred to a new, encrypted drive. We provide support to help you reintegrate the data and offer advice on future backup strategies to prevent a recurrence.
Issues We Fix
The causes of data loss are varied, but our team at Lifeguard Data Recovery is prepared for every scenario. We solve real-world problems that range from simple human error to catastrophic hardware failure.
-
Accidental Deletion or Formatting: Human error is the leading cause of data loss. Whether you’ve accidentally cleared a camera card or formatted a partition during a software update, our logical file system corruption repair techniques can often pull those files back into a readable state.
-
Corrupted Video Files and Unreadable Drives: Software crashes or improper drive ejections can lead to corrupted file structures. We specialize in repairing raw sectors and rebuilding file trees to make your data accessible again.
-
Operating System Crashes: When a laptop or server won’t boot, the data is often trapped but still intact. We bypass the OS to extract your information directly.
-
Physical Damage: The UAE climate can be harsh. We handle drives damaged by 50°C heat, high humidity, water spills, or power surges. Our mechanical head-crash recovery specialists can replace damaged internal components to stabilize the drive for imaging.
-
Virus or Ransomware Attacks: Cybersecurity threats can paralyze an organization. We provide ransomware data recovery and decryption help, utilizing forensic tools to find uncorrupted shadow copies or hidden versions of your files.
-
RAID Failure and Server Downtime: When a RAID controller fails or multiple disks drop out of an array, we provide database and SQL server restoration UAE, ensuring your enterprise applications are back online quickly.
Costs / Pricing Insight
Pricing for data recovery in the UAE is determined by the complexity of the labor and the resources required, rather than the volume of data being recovered. At Lifeguard Data Recovery, we pride ourselves on pricing transparency. A “logical” recovery where the hardware is healthy but the files are deleted or corrupted is generally the most cost-effective. These cases do not require cleanroom intervention and have a very fast turnaround.
Conversely, a “physical” recovery involving a mechanical breakdown or a head crash requires the use of our cleanroom and often necessitates the purchase of a matching “donor” drive for parts. Enterprise-level cases, such as a 12-drive RAID array or complex database and SQL server restoration UAE,
involve hundreds of hours of engineering time and virtual reconstruction. During our free diagnosis, we provide a fixed-price quote based on these factors. We also offer different service tiers, including “Standard,” “Priority,” and “Emergency,” to match your specific deadline and budget requirements. Our No Data, No Fee policy ensures that you are only investing in a successful outcome.
Tips or Helpful Advice
The first few minutes after a data loss event are the most critical. What you do next will determine if your data can be saved.
-
What to do immediately: Power down the device at once. If you hear clicking, grinding, or whirring, do not attempt to restart it. Every second a damaged drive spins, the read heads are physically destroying the data surface.
-
What NOT to do: Do not use DIY recovery software on a drive that is making noise. These tools are meant for healthy drives and will accelerate physical destruction. Never try the “freezer trick” or attempt to open the drive yourself. Opening a drive outside of a cleanroom will allow dust to settle on the platters, making recovery impossible.
-
Backup Best Practices: For businesses, follow the 3-2-1 rule: keep 3 copies of your data, on 2 different media types, with 1 copy stored off-site. For individuals, use a combination of local external drives and an encrypted cloud service.
-
When to call a professional: If the data is irreplaceable, do not gamble with it. Professional recovery is the only way to ensure the highest chance of success without risking permanent loss.
