Swift successful recovery of Data - thank you
Thank you SO much for your great work in recovering my data from my USB memory stick. I had no recent backup (I know!!) and a lot of very valuable files which would have taken hours to rewrite. From the moment I spoke to Will, I began to have hope. No false promises, clear outline of costs, timescales and possible outcomes. Fortunately, I was one of the 97% "lucky" ones. All but 13 (unimportant) files restored and returned to me within 48 hours. So pleased I found you!! THANK YOU just doesn't do it really. Can only recommend you at every possible opportunity. x
Very fast and effective service
Excellent service very helpful from start to finish
Good service. Everything was fully explained throughout the process and any queries I had were promptly answered.
I had an issue with a memory stick and lost 2 years' worth of designs. sent the damage stick to R3 and they recovered everything in less than 2 days. Fast and professional service, and was kept informed throughout the process.
Efficient polite service
So after 20+ years of chancing my luck with no data backup my laptop one day wouldn't turn on. Slightly worried I bought another laptop and fitted the drive to transfer the data. But oh no that was dead. After looking around and reading reviews I messaged R3 late one Saturday night. 5 mins later I had a reply! Very professional and had all.my data recovered in the quoted time. I can't praise them highly enough. Of course I now have a nas drive and second backup of all my data.
Great Reliable Service! Recovered 95% of my data in a Lab Recovery. I was very pleased with the communication and overall experience.
Great team, extremely helpful! They recovered my failed drive several years ago, and were able to help me again when I mislaid the password to the recovery drive they sent me. Stuart took the time while I was on the phone to make sure the password was correct and that the drive would open, and it worked first try! Live savers!
One of the most expert professional, efficient, trustworthy and caring businesses I have ever experienced. Andy is calm and reassuring to help one deal with the panic of data loss. The successful and quick data recovery performed on my broken USB stick was a miraculous result!
Great service. Prompt and full recovery of data from my laptop hard drive.
