It's good to know about this service in case you ever need it and can afford it, but you can buy a lot of external drives for multiple backups at less cost than one data recovery operation of this type.

Our IT guy pulled the disk and sent it to Drive Savers Data Recovery. Their estimate was between $428-1985. It came in around $1400-1700. But it was worth it. We got back four DVDs within a week with all my data on it.  Check out their site. They can retrieve almost anything.   For those of you who are Federal Employees, they have a GSA contract.   Louise   List-Post: texascavers@texascavers.com Date: Sat, 19 Dec 2009 07:28:47 -0800 From: texascav...@yahoo.com To: rod.g...@ieee.org; texascavers@texascavers.com Subject: Re: [Texascavers] Re: archiving your cave data Because they crash, too, Rod.   I have a $150 100GB ext. HD paperweight with a bunch of data that is lost now.     Mark From: Rod Goke <rod.g...@earthlink.net> To: TexasCavers <texascavers@texascavers.com> Sent: Sat, December 19, 2009 3:23:31 AM Subject: Re: [Texascavers] Re: archiving your cave data Why archive data on CDs or DVDs at all?
