More than two decades of experience with data recovery services to Bristol and the South West, including hard drive recovery, SSD recovery, RAID array recovery, NAS units recovery & forensic evidence recovery, all performed in-house. A free diagnostic prior to any work being done (in most cases you only pay if we recover your data) followed by a written quotation. In addition to the common recoveries (failed drives/SSDs/RAID/servers), as a local Bristol based data recovery specialist we also take on the recoveries that other data recovery companies decline: specialist data recovery on failed drives/SSDs/RAID arrays and servers, all processed internally. And when the drive is fine but the files are not, corrupted file recovery is its own discipline, the one that DIY software gets wrong.

A quick look at what we’ve been doing recently from the bench. The names have been removed, but the results have been checked.
Two of the Synology’s hard-drives were showing bad sectors when they came into us and their volume went down. So we took an image of each of the four hard-drives, rebuilt the Btrfs metadata and got a complete file-tree.
Head stack failure after being physically impacted. We sourced a matching donor unit, did an internal head-stack swap using that donor unit, and were able to take an image of the drive successfully on the second attempt.
We separately imaged each of the five units, rebuilt parity offline, then built a virtual array using those separate images. We were able to recover the NTFS volume along with all of the client files and we had them forensically documented as well.
Some recovery firms will secretly send your drive off to some other lab, sometimes overseas. We won’t do that. Each recovery project is completed entirely by our own engineers here in the UK, from the time your drive arrives until it returns to you.
All of our work is done by our own engineers; we do not contract out this type of work to a third-party firm.
Your drive (and therefore your data) remains in the UK throughout the entire process. It goes no further than the UK.
We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ZC173784), and comply with all applicable provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If needed, we can also provide NDA protection.
Honest reviews from Bristol’s real customers over two decades.
We had a Qnap Raid 5 eight disk system. Two of the hard disk failed, we replaced disks and attempted a rebuild. After rebuild completed system would not start. We had business critical accounts, SQL Database and Exchange Database on Qnap server. Bristol Data Recovery provided us with reassurance from the start that they could recover the data. They got the system in on Thursday and we downloaded the SQL and Exchange files from them on Sunday afternoon so all staff could work as normal on Monday. 1st class customer service.
Our iMac crashed, the only data we needed on iMac was our Baby’s photos. We took iMac to the Apple store in Cabot Circus but they could not do anything. We searched online and came across yourselves. Service was honest, helpful and you delivered what you said you could deliver which was all my photos, Thanks You.
I needed some help with a sd card recovery after our camera got knocked into a stream by the kids. While the camera was insured, I was devastated to think we had lost all of the holiday pictures and of our wedding. I tried some data recovery software but it didn’t really work so I took the plunge to find a file recovery expert. I am so lucky I found Bristol Data Recovery, who restored pretty much all of it to a USB stick for me.
