Priority Data Recovery Process

Start a new Data Recovery case

Submit a new case
It's easy to get started! You can securely submit a new case online around the clock, or speak with a data recovery expert during business hours. Either way, you'll get a Case Number and instructions about how to ship your media to us.

Send your hard drive to Iomega Data Recovery

Ship your hard drive to one of our Data Recovery labs
Safely pack your drive for shipment, and send it to an Iomega Data Recovery lab.

Free Data Recovery Evaluation

Free evaluation conducted once media is received
Once we receive your hard drive in our lab, our highly-skilled data recovery experts conduct a free in-lab evaluation of your media to assess your data loss situation (including a review of the details you provide us on your Evaluation Request Form), typically within five business days.

Evaluation Report & No-Obligation Quote

Review the evaluation results & no-obligation quote
As soon as the evaluation is complete, our data recovery consultants will send you a no-nonsense, no-obligation quote, including the results of the free evaluation.

This quote will provide you with a summary of the condition of the data, the amount of work needed to recover the data, and an estimated timeframe for files to be recovered. The price quoted is a firm price, so you won't have to worry about additional charges later on, such as clean room fees or other hidden charges.

Files Recovered

Files recovered & secured on stable media
Once you approve the quote generated after our evaluation, our data recovery techs will begin work immediately to recover the files and secure any recovered data on a safe, stable storage location in preparation for return to you.

Review Results & Pay for Recovery

Review final results & secure payment
After the recovery is complete (typically two to four weeks), you'll have a final chance to review the results of our in-lab data restoration efforts.

If you're satisfied with the results, payment will be secured and your Case Manager will start the wrap-up process with your case.

Files Transferred to New Media

Files transferred to verified media
Your recovered files will then be transferred to DVD for return (additional return media options available; ask your Case Manager for more information), and our data recovery consultants will verify that all of the recovered data is accessible and accounted for.

Recovered Files Returned to You

Restored files shipped back to you
Your restored data, now safely stored on verified media, will be packaged promptly and shipped back to you.
