   Data Protection and Recovery Handbook

Our Two Distinct Service Levels: Priority and Critical-Response*



Priority Service

  • In-lab service.
  • Free evaluation.
  • No files = no charge.
  • If an accepted recovery is not as promised, Iomega Data Recovery Services will do everything possible to rectify the recovery or refund all or part of the recovery fees paid.**
Priority service means that Iomega CSRs and lab personnel devote an extraordinary focus to each job that begins with the first phone call from the customer.

Both common and complex recoveries are performed under our Priority Service.
  • Upon receipt of the customers' media, the Iomega CSR immediately informs the customer of their case number and password, and that their job has arrived and that we have already begun our evaluation process.
  • The method of communication, based on customer preference can take place via phone, email, fax and of course, our web-based online Progress Report system available on a 24/7 basis.
  • Initial evaluation results are communicated as soon as they are available, often within a few hours of receipt.
  • Most customers are contacted about their job status within 10 business hours.
  • Our customer service process involves intense communication between the lab, the CSR and the customer and is based on years of successfully retrieving lost data.
  • Each case is unique and sometimes requires several cycles of questions and answers before we present the customer with a quote.
  • After the customer has approved the quote, the lab proceeds to the next stage and produces a list of the files that can be found, the "estimated condition" of the files and any other pertinent information. The CSR then confirms with the customer that we have indeed found the data they need and are willing to pay for. With this confirmation in hand, we proceed with the final stages of the recovery.
  • We present a summary of the outcome to the customer, and then secure payment prior to shipping the data back to the customer on the return media of their choice.
  • Whether the Priority Service can be completed within one day, a few days or more depends on the availability of the customer for the Q&A process and the complexity of the recovery job.
  • CSRs are available six days per week – Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. through 7 p.m., and Saturday 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. (EST). Web site and voice mail support is available 24/7 and customers with extremely urgent needs can use these to access our emergency Critical Response Service that operates on a 24/7 basis.





Pricing for Priority Service
  • Minimum charge is normally $500.
  • "No fault" recoveries that can be completed during the evaluation process are performed at a nominal cost to cover shipping and return media.
  • Complex cases involving servers (RAID/NAS/SAN etc) or tape media typically start at about $5,000 and range upward from this point, depending on the amount of time and resources which must be devoted to each case.


Critical-Response Service

Critical-Response Service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Iomega Critical Response Team comprises the best of the best data recovery technicians who take turns being on rotational standby, ready to travel anywhere at a moment's notice.

The team is responsible for all kinds of complex recoveries, including combinations of network servers, RAID, NAS, SAN, tape autoloaders and optical jukeboxes, and corrupted file sets in software platforms such as SQL, Oracle and Exchange Server

On-site service is available for emergency situations where immediate shipping to one of our labs is not feasible or security procedures prevent the media from leaving the data center.

Whether the case is handled in the lab or on-site, we work around the clock to restore mission critical operations Our first step is always to analyze and then stabilize the situation before we attempt the recovery.

Pricing for Critical-Response Service
  • Starts at $5,000.
