As home to one of Britain’s largest cyber and security clusters, Cheltenham takes its data very seriously, and so does Bristol Data Recovery. We offer our data recovery services a short distance from Cheltenham via the M5 motorway. For over two decades we have recovered hard disk drives, solid state disks, encrypted hard disk drives, RAID systems, NAS systems and servers within our own premises. Simply bring the item to be recovered to us or send it to us via postal services and we will complete a free diagnostic before advising you on how we can recover your data. In most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
From Cheltenham to Bristol by car it is approximately 45 miles along the M5. This makes it both possible to simply “drop” items into our collection point and alternatively make use of postal services to forward items to our premises.
Cheltenham is a town of many contrasts. The town boasts some beautiful examples of Regency style architecture in the form of the various terraced houses found throughout the town. The town also has many attractions such as the Promenade and Montpellier areas. In addition to these attractions Cheltenham hosts a world-famous racing festival and many other festivals including but not limited to Literature Festival, Jazz Festival and Science Festivals. Additionally, the town is also one of the UK’s main cyber and security hubs, with many technology, defence related and professional-services companies. Furthermore, with a population of around 117,000 people there is certainly a high level of commercial activity taking place in the area.
Regardless of what type of attraction draws visitors to the town, all rely heavily on their ability to maintain access to large amounts of data, such as case files, client records, research, design work and financial accounts. Many of these types of organisations rely on data encryption to protect sensitive information, and much of the data is business-critical. Therefore, when they lose access to their data due to failure of their computer hardware (e.g., a laptop or a multi-disk array), it is imperative that the data is recovered in a safe and reliable manner.
Bristol Data Recovery, around 45 miles down the M5, has offered a range of data recovery solutions for homes and businesses located in Cheltenham and surrounding areas for over two decades. Our data recovery solutions include recovery of individual failed laptops, desktop computers, external hard disk drives etc., right through to full system failures where multiple hard disk drives are involved (e.g., RAID failure). Additionally, if you have lost access to your encrypted data due to being locked out, we can assist with that too. Unlike other companies who may sub-contract this type of work out to third parties, at Bristol Data Recovery all work is completed in-house.
As you are relatively local, you can drop your device off at our Bristol location or send it to us using fully insured postage. Each job starts with a complimentary written diagnosis and a fixed quote; additionally we will provide a documented chain of custody if that is required. In most cases you only pay if we recover your data.
Here is a snapshot of some examples of work we perform for customers located in and around Cheltenham; each link goes to additional information regarding that example.
Data stored on encrypted volumes, legal evidence, business critical arrays and other sensitive areas are treated carefully by our experienced staff, entirely in-house and never sent outside.
Wherever possible locked out BitLocker, FileVault and VeraCrypt drive recovery is performed when you have access to either the encryption key or password.
Documented chain of custody for legal, HR and insurance cases and detailed reports to the client regarding the recovery process.
When failed rebuilds, multiple dead disks and/or failed controller(s) render an array unusable we can still reconstruct the system off the original hardware.
We also recover data from damaged Synology & QNAP boxes as well as from servers running VMware and Hyper-V hosts, including SQL and Exchange database systems.
Our pricing structure offers tiered options based upon your specific needs, including free diagnostics and expedited service to meet business-critical job deadlines.
Regardless of whether you reside on The Promenade, or live in one of the surrounding villages, the service is exactly the same: just drop it off or send it to us via fully insured postage.
True client testimonials from our two-decade archive.
I would highly recommend Bristol Data Recovery to anyone needing a Professional Data Recovery Service. My Toshiba Laptop failed while on the train one afternoon. There was no warning and it did not get dropped. Bristol Data Recovery recovered everything from Toshiba Laptop within 48 hours. I was relieved as I am a self employed graphic designer and I had an Illustrator project on the hard drive.
We had a portable Western Digital Passport hard drive that was dead and would not connect to PC. I would like to say that the Recovery service was perfect from start to end, they managed to recover most of the data that we needed which was great.
