A technician at your door — Monday to Sunday, 8am–8pm
Dennes Point sits squarely inside our onsite zone: technicians take appointments Monday to Sunday, 8am to 8pm, at your home or business across Dennes Point and the surrounding suburbs. Where the device allows it, recovery starts at your desk — assessment, healthy-drive copies, lost files and email work — and only heads to the lab when the hardware demands a cleanroom.
Failed drives: the Dennes Point bread and butter
Spinning drives fail mechanically — clicking, beeping, or not spinning up — and logically, through corruption, accidental formatting or deleted partitions. SSDs (SATA, M.2, NVMe) fail differently: controller faults, firmware bugs and sudden death with no warning. Logical recoveries run in our lab with forensic, write-protected imaging; physical failures are opened in our Class 100 cleanroom. Dropped externals from Dennes Point homes are among the most common jobs we see. More detail: hard drive recovery and SSD recovery.
iPhones, Androids and Macs
Phones that will not turn on, boot-loop or have been water-damaged usually still hold their data — the job is making the device stable enough to extract it. The same goes for iPads and for MacBooks with soldered storage and Apple-silicon security, which need specialist handling. See iPhone recovery and Mac recovery.
Memory cards, USB sticks and older media
- SD and camera cards — accidental formats and mid-shoot corruption recover well.
- USB sticks — snapped connectors and dead boards; keep all the pieces.
- Old media — IDE drives, tapes, ZIPs and floppies still readable in our lab.
Details: USB recovery and SD card recovery.
RAID, NAS and business servers
A degraded RAID array or a NAS (Synology, QNAP, WD) that has dropped a disk is recoverable — if you stop. Do not rebuild, reinitialise or re-order drives, and do not reinstall the operating system; those steps destroy more data than the original failure. See RAID recovery and business data recovery.
Serving Dennes Point and surrounds
Dennes Point sits about 22 km south of the Hobart CBD. We also help nearby Killora (2.8 km), Piersons Point (2.9 km), North Bruny (4.5 km), Tinderbox (4.8 km) — onsite, by pickup, or by mail-in. Citywide: Data Recovery Hobart; national hub: Data Recovery; encrypted files: Ransomware Recovery.

The golden rule of data loss: power the device off and stop using it — every minute of use risks overwriting your files. Do not run free recovery software (it writes to the very disk you are trying to save), do not open a drive outside a cleanroom, do not keep power-cycling a clicking drive, and please ignore the freezer trick — it ruins modern drives. Phone us first; the assessment costs nothing.
After the recovery: never again
Dennes Point is on wireless internet via tower (up to 75 Mbps) — and even at those speeds, re-downloading a lifetime of photos from the cloud takes a while, which is why recovering them from the original drive is usually faster and more complete. The best data recovery is the backup you never need to use. The Australian Cyber Security Centre has free, plain-English guidance on backing up and restoring your files at cyber.gov.au.

Frequently asked questions
Can I just mail my device in?
Yes. Tell us about the device, pay the inspection fee, and we email you an Australia Post label to print plus our lab address (you pay the postage at your nearest outlet). After inspection we send a full list of recoverable files with a fixed quote before any recovery charge.
Do you recover data in Dennes Point?
Yes — we help Dennes Point (7150) and the surrounding area, onsite, by drop-in, by collection, or by secure mail-in. Start with a free phone assessment and a free Quick Quote.
What should I avoid doing before recovery?
Stop using the device, do not run free recovery software (it can overwrite your files), do not open a drive outside a cleanroom, do not keep power-cycling a clicking drive, and skip the freezer trick — it ruins modern drives.
How do I get my recovered files back?
Your choice: a new external drive, a secure download, or an upload to your cloud account. The faulty original is returned too, or securely destroyed on request.
Will recovery void my warranty?
Opening a drive can affect its warranty, which is why we discuss it first. For most failed devices the data is worth far more than the hardware — and we document the device condition either way.
How much does data recovery cost in Dennes Point?
The phone assessment and Quick Quote are free. An inspection fee applies for the lab assessment (from $139, depending on the device and turnaround). You then receive a full list of recoverable files and a fixed recovery quote, so you see exactly what is recoverable before you pay for the recovery.
Do I have to pay before I know what you found?
No. After the lab inspection you receive a full list of the files we can recover plus a fixed quote. You decide with the list in front of you — you pay for the recovery only after seeing what is recoverable.
