Forensic data recovery

One of my friends business was in a unfortunate situation. Hard disk of one of the most critical database servers had crashed and unfortunately the backup server's disk was formatted as well. My friend had to recover the data from the crashed disk. He turned to me for advice. After much Googling I found http://www.flashbackdata.com/, which sounded promising. Since they were providing Forensics data recovery as well.

My friend sent over the two disks, the one crashed for recovery and the formatted disk of the backup server for forensics recovery. He opted for the same day delivery option and he had his data recovered in 18 hours and the forensics recovery report helped him to track down the employee responsible for formatting the disk of the backup server. That was a close one. I see why banks still use tapes.

It was cool how fast flashbackdata was able to recover the data. One turn off in their site is that they haven't put at least the tentative prices for their services. However it is understandable why the prices are not listed, data recovery is a complicated operation.
