Make the call for a free phone assessment.
Your photos are probably still there
Most failed devices in Paradise are recoverable. Free phone assessment + free Quick Quote — see your file list before you pay.
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.
What happens after you call
- Free phone assessment. Tell us what happened; a technician gives you an honest read on the options — expect a fixed, written quote before any recovery work.
- Get the device to us. Drop in, we collect, or mail it in — whatever suits Paradise, with no pressure and no obligation at any step.
- Inspection and your file list. An inspection fee applies for the lab assessment (from $139, by device and turnaround). You then receive a full list of the files we can recover and a fixed quote.
- You decide. Pay for the recovery only once you have seen what is recoverable. Data returns on new media, by secure download, or to your cloud.
Hard drive and SSD recovery in Paradise
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 write-protected imaging; physical failures are opened in our Class 100 cleanroom. Dropped externals from Paradise homes are among the most common jobs we see. More detail: hard drive recovery and SSD recovery.
Phone, tablet and Mac recovery
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.
Too far from us? Mail in your device
Plenty of Paradise customers just want to send the device in. Tell us what has happened and pay the inspection fee (from $139, depending on device and turnaround). We then email you an Australia Post label to print plus our lab address — just lodge the parcel at your nearest Australia Post outlet (you pay the postage at the counter). When it arrives we inspect it and send you a full list of the files we can recover with a fixed quote — you only pay for the recovery once you have seen what is recoverable.

No technician nearby? Start with remote recovery
If the computer still starts, many Paradise recoveries never need a courier: documents that have gone missing, files emptied from the Recycle Bin, vanished folders and lost emails (Outlook PST and OST included) can often be recovered through a secure remote session — you watch the whole time, you stay in control, and recovered files are saved somewhere safe before anything else is touched. Same free phone assessment, same fixed quote first. One honest rule: if the drive is clicking, failing or not detected, do not run anything at all — that is lab work, and mail-in exists for exactly that. See deleted file recovery and email & PST recovery.
Memory cards, USB sticks and older media
Formatted SD cards, corrupted camera cards and snapped USB sticks are everyday recoveries. A re-initialised card usually still holds its photos — stop shooting on it immediately. See USB recovery and SD card recovery.
Serving Paradise and surrounds
Paradise sits about 181 km north-west of the Hobart CBD. We also help nearby Claude Road (4.2 km), Sheffield (5.5 km), Beulah (5.6 km), West Kentish (6.2 km) — onsite, by pickup, or by mail-in. Citywide: Data Recovery Hobart; national hub: Data Recovery; encrypted files: Ransomware Recovery.
From Dasher River to Minnow River, Paradise households trust local technicians with the files that matter.
From the job sheet: a Paradise recovery
First, do no harm: 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.
Protect your data from the next mishap
Paradise 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
How much does data recovery cost in Paradise?
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.
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.
Can you recover a dead, clicking or water-damaged drive?
Often, yes. Logical faults are recovered in our lab; physical failures (clicking, dropped, water-damaged, not detected) are opened in our Class 100 cleanroom. We assess first and tell you honestly what is recoverable.
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.
The camera says the card is corrupt mid-shoot. What do I do?
Take the card out, lock the write-protect tab if it has one, and do not format it in the camera. Shoot on a spare card and have the corrupt one assessed — mid-shoot corruption usually recovers well.
Will you set up a backup so this never happens again?
Gladly. Once your data is recovered we can configure an automatic local plus cloud backup, and the Australian Cyber Security Centre publishes free guidance at cyber.gov.au if you want to read up first.
Is mail-in safe for a failing drive?
Yes, packed right: original padding or bubble wrap, a rigid box, no loose movement. We email packing instructions with your Australia Post label, and tracking covers the trip.
Do you recover data in Paradise?
Yes — we help Paradise (7306) 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.
