How it works

Data recovery process in Montreal

A serious process should be easy to understand. The goal is to quickly qualify the case, protect the device, estimate the treatment path and return readable data within the agreed scope.

1. First contact

The starting point is to describe the device, observed symptoms, actions already attempted and urgency level. This step helps avoid taking the case down the wrong path from the start.

Sensitive information and devices should not be sent without prior coordination. The channel and delivery method must be confirmed before transmission.

2. Drop-off, pickup or shipping

Depending on the case, the device can be brought to the lab, entrusted via secure transport or handled according to the case requirements.

When shipping is planned within the accepted framework, NEXURADATA can arrange delivery via Canada Post according to the terms set at the quote stage.

3. Assessment and technical assessment

The device is identified, qualified and examined to distinguish a logical deletion, a logical failure, a physical failure, a sensitive RAID environment or a more formal preservation need.

4. Assessment path and quote

Once the initial assessment is complete, the recommended approach is clarified with the urgency level, known risks, case limitations and the selected intervention framework.

5. Recovery or specialized treatment

The intervention may involve direct recovery, a more technical treatment on SSD, RAID or server, or a more controlled approach if the context also involves device integrity and traceability.

6. Result verification

Recovered data is reviewed and organized to confirm that it matches the client's stated needs. The client must understand what was found, in what form and with what possible limitations.

7. Return

Data is returned using the agreed method, with clear documentation on the next steps when there is still a need to restore, migrate, archive or secure the environment involved.

When the method changes

  • A clicking drive is not treated like a logical file deletion.
  • A RAID should not be handled like a standard external drive.
  • A sensitive internal case may require more than a standard recovery.
  • An available backup does not always replace analysis of the source device.
