ADR

We are often asked how long we have been in business. In fact, it is the only question asked as much as "How much does data recovery cost". Kevin Jackson, CEO of ADR Data Recovery, has spent 16 years building one of the most trusted data recovery companies in the nation. This is some of his story:

In 1995 I was running a successful cleaning business in beautiful Napa, CA. On day, without warning my hard drive crashed. I didn't get excited or stressed out because I regularly backed up my data to Zip disks. In fact, I kept three Zip disks with copies of my backed up data. So, the first thing I did was put a new hard drive in my computer and reinstalled the operating system, Quickbooks and other programs. Then I popped in one of my backup disks. Immediately the Zip disk started clicking and wouldn't read. No big deal I thought and glad I kept more than one copy. I put the second disk in and the same thing happened: click, click, click and nothing. At that point I started to panic a little. I cleaned the disk drive and put the third one in. Same thing: it just sat clicking! Not knowing much at the time, I figured I just needed a new Zip drive so I went to town and bought one. When I returned to the office I popped each of the Zip disks in to see if I could read then. Nothing! They just kept clicking. Now, I was really beginning to panic because all my clients, all my records, all my tax records were on those three disks.
