Data Recovery Prices

Budget Data Recovery offers no data, no charge data recovery services, with only the exception of add-on services and when parts are needed. Our assessment is always free, but we do require that clients pre-approve the minor recovery price as outlined below. This way, when our team assesses your hard drive and are able to recover your data at our base rate, we keep moving forward until the recovery is completed, speeding up the overall recovery process and helping us keep your costs down by our not wasting time on recoveries that aren’t worth our minimum fees.

If the cost to recover the data is more than the minimum price, we will provide a quote and will only move forward with the data recovery process after we receive approval from the client.

Prices below are for standard service and cover drives up to 2TB in size. Please refer to the Extras Section below for additional services if needed.

Those guys are great! Got back every bit of my data. Very fast and the price was very reasonable as well. They also instructed me on how to keep proper backups so i can avoid the risk of data loss in the future. While I hope I never need their help again they will be the the first folks I'll call if I ever do.

Backup Data Recovery saved me big time! I was in the middle of writing my dissertation when my hard drive died on me. My last backup was over a month ago which was useless since all my work was done in the last week. They very quickly recovered everything so I could get back to work. Highly recommended!

My hard drive was clicking and acting up. I tried to pull the data off but I only managed to get about half of what I needed to keep. Took it to them and they were able to recover all the files I needed. They are very knowledgeable and quick.
