Business data: servers, NAS and RAID

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.

How data recovery works for Scopus

  1. Free phone assessment. Tell us what happened; a technician gives you an honest read on the options — expect a straight answer from a technician within minutes.
  2. Get the device to us. Drop in, we collect, or mail it in — whatever suits Scopus, with clear updates while the work happens. For deleted files or lost emails on a computer that still runs, ask about a secure remote session — often no travel at all.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 Scopus

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 Scopus 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.

Mail-in recovery: the post office does the driving

Plenty of Scopus 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.

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.

From the job sheet: a Scopus 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

Scopus 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

The computer will not start but I just need the files. Do I fix the computer first?

No — data first, repairs second. We image the storage before any repair work so your files are safe no matter what happens to the machine. One visit can cover both.

Are deleted files on an SSD recoverable?

Honestly: sometimes not. Modern SSDs run TRIM, which can erase deleted data within hours. Failed SSDs (controller or firmware faults) are a different story and are often fully recoverable. Either way, stop writing to the drive and get it assessed.

Do you recover data in Scopus?

Yes — we help Scopus (7330) 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.

My phone will not turn on — are the photos gone?

Usually not. Most dead phones still hold their data; the work is in making the device stable enough to extract it. Stop charging it if it was water-damaged, and have it assessed.

Is my data kept private?

Yes. Your files are handled by accountable, Australian-based technicians, kept confidential, never browsed beyond what recovery requires, and released only to you. Sensitive jobs can be discussed on the phone first.

How much does data recovery cost in Scopus?

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 you prioritise a business server?

Yes. Priority and urgent turnarounds exist for exactly this, and we can often supply interim copies of the most critical files first so the business keeps moving while the full recovery completes.

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.

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.

Your files are probably still there. Call (03) 6156 4934 or get a free Quick Quote.
