BuffaloTech NAS Data Recovery

Snap Server Data Recovery BuffaloTech (NAS) Network Access Storage media is designed to provide an economical solution for users to store and share large amount of data. It comes with a unique files system architecture called XFS.

This type of NAS device has a single drive but also has two or more drives which can be configured as RAID. Just like any other data storage, these Servers are not completely loss free and bound to crash at some point in time. Most of the data recovery companies do not have the expertise to deal with XFS but Disk Doctors R&D has developed in house software utilities specifically designed to tackle XFS issues.

We can recover data from all types and models of BuffaloTech NAS stations.

Data Protection & Confidentiality

Disk Doctors guarantees protection of your data throughout the data recovery process, from evaluation to handing data back to the client.

Disk Doctor Employees are selected through a rigorous process of selection and follow our strict rules and procedures for handling the client data.
Client media is cloned sector by sector onto our own lab media and all the data recovery work is carried out on the cloned media not the original media; this ensures that client’s storage media is always intact.
Upon successful recovery Disk Doctors by default keeps a copy of the data for 7days before it gets deleted automatically from our Lab Server. This helps in providing the copy of data again if some thing goes wrong during the transfer of data to client e.g. the data media gets damage or goes missing during the postal process.
Our agreement to recover the data includes the clause for protection and non disclosure of data as per legal rules and regulations. If you require separate agreement for data protection and non disclosure, we are happy to sign the agreement.
