Ransomware Data Recovery Services
Recovering your data after a ransomware attack - no matter the scale or severity.
Yes, ransomware-encrypted data can often be recovered without paying. We work at the storage and filesystem level, bypassing encryption entirely. If we can't recover your data, you don't pay.
- Proven recovery from LockBit 4.0, NetApp WAFL, ZFS, Veeam, and VM attacks
- Works with forensics firms, insurers, and incident response teams
- ISO Class 3 cleanroom lab with 24/7 security monitoring
- Free consultation within hours of contact
- Full recovery or no-cost policy
When Ransomware Recovery Requires Professional or Lab-Based Intervention
R3 Data Recovery specialises in recovering data encrypted by ransomware, even when threat actors have used advanced methods or targeted critical infrastructure. Our engineers use proprietary tools and refined techniques to reverse the damage, repair corrupt files, and search for unaffected data sources across storage platforms, including virtual disks, backup systems, and tape assets.
We recover data from:
- Active ransomware variants (e.g. LockBit, Medusa, Conti, BlackCat)
- Encrypted NAS, SAN, and RAID systems
- Virtual machines (VMware, Hyper-V)
- Infected backup servers and cloud snapshots
- Compromised ZFS, XFS, and NetApp volumes
We handle attacks affecting:
- SMEs
- Hospitals
- Law firms
- Manufacturing
- Logistics
- Educational institutions
Whether you've already paid the ransom or not, we advise against relying on decryptors provided by the attacker—paying the ransom does not ensure recovery.
Ransomware Symptoms That Mean You Should Stop Using Attacker Decryptors and DIY Tools
- 1
You've received a ransom note or payment deadline
A visible message from a threat actor demanding payment in cryptocurrency is the most immediate sign. R3 helps you contain the attack and begin recovery efforts without delay.
- 2
Systems are inaccessible and files have unfamiliar extensions
Your critical files may be renamed or encrypted. We search for and recover older versions, unaffected sources, or alternate copies in shadow volumes, VSS snapshots, or offsite storage.
- 3
Your backups are encrypted, deleted, or corrupted
We recover from air-gapped tapes, disconnected snapshots, and hard-to-access archive drives, even when your primary backup infrastructure has been compromised.
- 4
Decryptors have failed or introduced new issues
If third-party or attacker-supplied decryptors caused file corruption, our team repairs corrupt files and recovers working versions using verified clean-room methods.
- 5
You're facing downtime and business interruption costs
R3 acts quickly to shorten turnaround times. We power down infected systems, isolate devices, and recover intact data without risking further spread.

Ransomware Recovery Questions About Risk, Timing, and Alternatives to Paying
Common questions about recovering from ransomware attacks.
How soon should I act after discovering ransomware?
You should act quickly. Power down infected devices, isolate them, and contact R3 for a free consultation as soon as possible.
Do I need to pay the ransom first?
No. Paying the ransom does not ensure full recovery. Many decryptors fail or further damage your data. We provide alternatives.
What if my backups were also encrypted?
We frequently recover data from unaffected tapes, cold storage, cloud versions, or from damaged file fragments using proprietary tools.
Do you work with insurance carriers?
Yes. We collaborate with insurers, forensic firms, and legal counsel during recovery to minimise business interruption and liability.
How long does the recovery take?
Most cases have a turnaround time of 12–72 hours, depending on severity and volume. Emergency services are available 24/7.
