CBL Data Recovery Technologies Inc.: Lost Data Can be Recovered in Wake of Hurricane Damage.

ARMONK, N.Y. & SAN DIEGO -- There's Still Hope for Flooded Drives as Storm-Struck Regions Rebuild

As residents and businesses in the hurricane-struck regions of the gulf coast of the United States rebuild their homes and offices, they should remember that computer hard drives can withstand a lot of physical damage and that their valuable data may not be lost.

CBL Data Recovery Technologies Inc. (www.cbltech.com), a leading international provider of computer data recovery services, has found disk drives and tape cartridges that look damaged beyond all hope can often be salvaged and the data recovered.

"You'd be surprised how much damage a hard disk can endure, but many companies write off damaged data storage media prematurely," says CBL CEO Bill Margeson. "Computer users underestimate the resiliency of data storage media even when damaged by water or fire."

So don't write off the data yet; there is always the chance it can be recovered. CBL has recovered data from servers flooded with two feet of sewage water as well as drives frozen in ice.

"Our experience is data can be recovered from hard drives that have been seriously soiled by mud slides, melted by infernos and buffeted by heavy storms," adds Margeson. "We take the view that the glass is always half full and it can never hurt to attempt recovery."

A leader in its field, CBL is a multinational data recovery organization with facilities in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Barbados, England, Germany, China, Singapore, Japan and Australia. The company has been focused solely on the data recovery market for more than a decade. Through its on-going research and development efforts, CBL has created a library of proprietary processes to successfully recover data from failed PC hard disk drives when all other conventional methods have failed.
