Great work by the team here. Was looking for a good recovery company for my moms external drive that had all her pics from 20 years on it. They made quick work of it, were able to get to her files, moved them to a new hard drive. Communicated through the process. Sent preview index of what was located. Highly recommend.

I have used other highly reputable data recovery companies before, but Flashback was far better and exceeded every expectation I had! They were so patient with all my concerns and very responsive. Not to mention, a service that would have cost me over $3k at the other place was half the price with them. I will be sending everyone I know to you guys! Thank you so much to Trigger and Eric! You guys are amazing and now I can sleep at night knowing my data is safe!

After my computer crashed and my local computer repair people were unable to transfer files, Flashback Data Recovery came through! all of my files were saved. I wont lie - its not a cheap endeavor, but Im more than satisfied. They were quick to get my files onto a flash drive - from the time I picked up my crashed hard drive at my local computer shop to the time I received my saved files was 7 days! Completely a life saver!

Trigger and the Flashback gang did a great job of recovering all our data after a major drive failure. Saved us a lot of time and recovered some very unique and hard to reproduce data, Thanks guys.

Before I brought my damaged hard drive into their office, they gave me a price range as to what it would cost to recover my files. When a business estimates the cost will be between a high and low range, I always assume I will be charge the high end of the range.The final bill was $100 BELOW the low end of the range. Who does that? Very few businesses, in my experience.I highly recommend Flashback Data

I thought I had lost everything when an external hard drive crashed. They were able to recover all the data on it. I didnt lose all my photos, documents and financial information. It was all done quickly and professionally. I am glad I found them!

As advertised this team is still the best. Our company is back up and running at full speed with no lost data. Thanks Flashback, and S&S Computer Solutions for the referral.

My laptop had electrical damage due to a water accident. The machine was unrepairable and I was sure the files were lost forever. I shipped the damaged laptop to Flashback Data two days ago. Today I received the download of all the files from that hard drive. This was not an inexpensive job but I assure you it was worth every penny.

A shining example of professionalism. Took the time to listen to my situation, and then gave me a clear explanation of the options. After i shipped them my device, there was no delay, i received a call, in which the technical information was explained in a way i could easily understand it, and all paths forward were laid out. I was never pressured or pushed into services, and they even went so far as to make recommendations to avoid situations like this in the future. This company has earned my loyalty, and they will be my go-to spot for data recovery in the future. I could not recommend them more strongly.

Review №22

I was referred to Flashback Data from two other data recovery places that did not have the resources to retrieve data from my very damaged hard drive. Because of this, I had high expectations/hope for recovery and had already been through some frustrating processes of being turned away or given an outrageous quote. Flashback Data seemed to be in the sweet spot of excellent service with fair prices.William, the customer service rep./liaison, was who I interacted with the most. He was excellent. The first time I had called around, looking for quotes, he was very honest with what they could do and was incredibly informative. He even remembered my case later on and helped to walk me through the process of submitting my ticket and shipping the damaged & backup drive (because of the social distancing enforcement). Once the hard drive got to them, they were quick to give me a quote as well as the diagnosis of my drive. Though a bit pricier than I expected, I understood this was a small price to pay for extremely valuable data and hours upon hours of hard work. Their website was great for tracking the progress of it all and was easy to use/understand. They finished recovering the data that same day they got it and William was able to ship both drives to me, free of charge.Unfortunately, upon arrival/plugging the backup drive with recovered data into my computer, the drive was unreadable- I was in disbelief. It did not work in any port or when I tested it on different computers. I called the line and Damon informed me that that was very unusual and it was probably my hard drive that was faulty. I wasnt so sure about this, as the backup drive was *brand new*. He told me I would have to send it in again so that they could see, but stated that mailing it again would be very slow, and that I should just drop it off if I wanted it faster. At this point, I just wanted my data once-and-for-all/after everything I had been through previously, so I agreed to drop it off.They called to update me later that their technician did not copy it in the right format for some reason and that it should be good after recopying. I am not sure how this mistake couldve occurred and I wish this was double-checked before it was sent to me the first time. Once again, I had to pick it up. The location is a bit far for me so it was 4 trips to and from the office to drop it off and pick it up. On top the time I had already spent on this, I wish they wouldve offered a discount or to pay for priority shipping for me for my inconvenience. However, I do understand that these are complicated times and they were able to successfully retrieve all my data. This one hovers between a 3.5-4 star rating for me. The actual service & pleasant interactions with William were the positives. But all the back-and-forth/copying mistake was not expected.

Flashback data is an incredible business. From the very beginning they kept me in touch of what was going on and how to do what was needed, how long things would take and what my options were. Their customer service is awesome. They were courteous, fast, and very professional. I would rate them 10 stars if I could.

Review №24

My laptop crashed and I sent the removed hard drive to Flashback Data in Austin after getting a brochure from a local computer repair shop. This is a personal computer, not business related. I was really worried about family photos that I might not have saved elsewhere. While these photos are of great sentimental value to me, I simply cannot afford to pay $700 to save them. That being said, I called them, and they were very nice and understanding on the phone, and they apologized that the price range wasnt clearer up front. They did a good job explaining the price and the options available. I still decided to have my drive sent back without doing the recovery for now. Im sure this is a great service for a business or someone in a situation where they cannot afford to lose the data, but if youre like me, this service (and Im sure others like them) might be too expensive. Put the drive aside and start saving money, I guess.

Flashback tried their best to rescue 8 months of data off of a Mac with a dead SSD drive. No luck due to an unformatted HD, BUT these guys were super fast and very attentive in trying to help me out, and didnt charge me a dime for some hard work. At least I know where to go AND to back up my HD!! Thanks Flashback :-D

I had a problem with files that were encrypted by malware. Eric was very responsive in answering my questions and explaining the issues. He responded promptly (on a Sunday) and went above and beyond in evaluating my drive to identify the problem. Everyone I dealt with in the office was professional and courteous. Although he was not able to recover my data, I would definitely work with them again in the future. The customer service was excellent, and they are a reputable organization.

Flashback Data its a great company, with great employees who really care about their customers. After a total loss fire, I took all my hard drives to Flashback for recovery. I was recommended to them by another data recovery company that was closer to me, but they said that I needed to take my stuff to flashback. A competitor that so highly recommends another company, that says a lot. While we didnt have 100% recovery, the experience I had with them was stellar. Hands down would recommend them for any type of electronic data recovery. They have their own forensic level lad in house, no question about the safety of your information while its in their hands. Every employee I came into contact with, was awesome.

Flashback did a great job!!!! I had an external har drive that got some mildew on the circuit board. They recovered it easily, gave great options for recovery devices endgame me a customer centric recommendation. The process was quick and everything was explain thoroughly by each person along they way. I was very impressed that not a single person dropped the ball or was unresponsive. Their prices were lower than (or on par with) the 3 other companies I looked into. I chose them for that and they were in Texas.

I highly recommend this place. I went to Flashback Data because my computer crashed while I was taking the bar exam, and I needed to get my exam answers recovered as soon as possible. Victoria was very nice and understanding, and they were able to recover the data in even less time than I anticipated. I would definitely use them again.

Flashback Data is the best data recovery service in town! I called them based on a recommendation for my IT specialist. They were able to recover 1TB worth of video footage for me only a couple days after I delivered my drive. Their customer service is fantastic, and they walk you through the entire recovery process (even allowing you to preview a list of the recoverable data before you pay!) Eric and Jessica were incredible to work with. They allowed me time to confirm everything was recovered successfully, and followed up with me afterward to make sure everything was back to normal. I cannot recommend this company highly enough. Trust Flashback with your data recovery.

Talk about painless data recovery. Had a corrupted SSD with loads of data and the usual service providers quickly gave up. But they did recommend Flashback Data and, boy, Im so thankful for that. Dropped my SSD yesterday afternoon and they had all the data this AM. Some will find them pricey but the pricing makes sense if you believe in $1 for fixing the problem...$999 for knowing what/how to fix

Walked in the pool with an old obsolete cell phone. Yep. Provider said, “Uh, we don’t see anything in the cloud...“ Another business had it forever with nothing recoverable. Flashback Data recovered everything and mailed to me on a Patriot Rage 64gb flash drive within 3 days. Their business process was awesome: Friendly greeting and company info from a human, followed by assignment of job #/pw for portal containing digital tracking of recovery process and results, media designation for transfer, payment and shipment tracking all in one digital niche. Phone and email for extra help if you hang in the portal. Just a really fine professional group. My data wasn’t of global importance but it mattered to me - years of contacts, photos, trips, the stuff of life. THANKS Y’ALL! 🌺

Rule #1: Backup your data. Rule #2: Go straight to Flashback Data if you didnt. Their process is simple to understand, and the portal they use to keep customers updated is wonderful. Great customer service, excellent technical work, and exceptional model for doing business. I never would have been comfortable mailing off my most precious kids baby pictures to anyone else.

We are an IT company that sells backup services. One of our clients had an accident with a computer not covered by our service. FlashBack to the rescue. The drive was not physically damaged but it did have four significant issues. They were able to pull data off the drive. Both my team and my client are happy. the entire process was very straight forward and we received updates through out the process.

Flashback Data did and incredible job of recovering my data. I lost my hard drive and my backup drive simultaneously which contained years of personal data, vacation pictures, family information and so forth that could never have been replaced. They were able to help recover every bit of data. I highly recommend them.

I want to thank the two outstanding ladies who greatly assisted me with educational tactics using my computer. Brought my computer in for recovery but recovery was not successful. They discovered I could possibly be at fault accidentally erasing. They showed me how to correct my positioning of my hands to keep from pressing on the key pad. They put my novel in the cloud and now I am safe, as I lost over 4 chapters and over 6,000 words. Several weeks work down the drain. Now I feel safe writing again. Thanks to Victoria Gonzalez and Jacqueline Arnecke

My independent computer repair shop works with these folks after having experience with almost every cleanroom in the nation. These folks have ALWAYS gotten the job done, in very little time, and at a very reasonable price. Their partner program is excellent as well, and the folks at their firm there are great to work with. Most importantly, their policies for the folks wed refer to them are very fair and risk-free. I couldnt be happier with Flashback Data for our clients cleanroom needs!

I experienced a mechanical failure of my hard drive on my personal laptop. I was fairly certain that I had lost thousands of photos of my children forever because I had foolishly never backed them up properly. I sent my hard drive to Flashback hoping for a miracle and they really delivered! After a lot of persistence on their part, they were actually able to recover my entire photo library. Best Christmas gift ever.They were extremely professional and also just plain nice, which made dealing with a difficult situation a whole lot easier. Would highly recommend.

Our family had very important household records on a jump drive (family records, income tax documents, etc.) Our little jump drive became worn out and refused to open. We were devastated and took it to a local computer repair shop. They could not get it to open either, and recommended Flashback Data. Flashback came to the rescue, with free diagnostics and a free quote after they determined what files were recoverable. We paid only when it was determined that our critical files could be restored. They also have a secure customer portal so we were kept in the loop while they worked on our problem.All in all, we were up and running within 24 hours, they had great communication, were pleasant to deal with and for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

We have been a partner company with FBD for a few years now, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. They have helped us recover 99% of our customer files. They are reliable, and always seem to go beyond the minimum. I have always had all my questions answered quickly and in a manner that I can understand and communicate because of Jessica. She makes the process as seamless and painless as possible. Jessica is friendly, a joy to talk to, and always looks into any concern I have, & explains why stuff happens and what the results mean. She is always on point for changes that need to be made at customer request (like address shipping changes), so she helps me keep my customers happy :) I cant imagine having a partnership with any other data recovery lab, I love working with Flashback Data. I always recommend them & I will continue to do so

Im a DJ and my external hard drive was malfunctioning! I took it to Best Buy and unfortunately they couldnt do anything with it! I hadnt been backing it up like I should have and thought I was gonna have to start all over from scratch with my music selection! Best Buy referred me to Flashback Data and from the time I walked in they were nice and comforting! They took in my device and I was able to see their progress with their easy-to-access online client portal! They had an assessment of issues in less than 24 hours and an estimate of repair costs shortly after! In less than 48 hours my devices data was transferred to a new device and good as new! Lesson learned in data backup lol. Thanks to Flashback Data for saving me!

Visited Flashback Drive to recover vacation photos from a Terabyte. Cotni was friendly, answered my questions and addressed my concerns. We were able to view live updates, online, thru a customer portal as well as receive emails regarding those updates. The diagnostic was made within a few hours. Eric was professional, attentive and very informative. Unfortunately, the photos were unrecoverable due to a severely scratched disk but, we learned greatly from this experience.

My external hard drive experienced mechanical failure, but Flashback came through for me and recovered everything. At a price around $1,650, it had me running to the Wikipedia page on Crassus, but it did teach me a lesson in having an active backup policy. Through UPS with a tracking number, they returned the new hard drive (I left a 1 TB drive with them) and the old one. They also assured me that my data would be kept for two weeks past the return date, then scrubbed from their hard drive. They definitely know their business.

I accidentally kicked a flash drive while it was in one of my computers USB ports... BROKEN. I brought the flash drive in to Flashback Data and was incredibly pleased with their customer service starting with the moment I walked in. I am by no means a technology guru and sometimes feel uncomfortable or even stupid when I utilize the services of technological companies and/or IT, but the woman at the front desk, Jessica, very kindly dumbed everything down to my level. She walked me through their processes and made me feel very comfortable about leaving my media with them.Unfortunately Flashback Data was not able to retrieve the data off of my flash drive (the data chip was cracked and theres no going back after that), but they called me within a couple of hours of me dropping the drive off and kindly informed me. It almost sounded like they felt bad for me and actually sympathized with my situation, which I really appreciated. It truly feels like they value their clients.Although Im disappointed that it is impossible to retrieve the data, Flashback made the horrible experience of all of this a little less devastating and daunting. Also, they are not charging me since they cannot retrieve any data which I greatly appreciate.If you have any issues with memory loss, media damage, etc., these are the guys to go to!

I had over 10 years of family pictures, albums, movies and 15 years of financial data and statements stored in my iMac internal HD. How do you put a price on personal memories? What would you tell your kids when they get older that there are no baby pictures? I was in a crushed state because the Apple Store will simply not recover personal data. Flashback Data saved us!! Jessica and Eric were wonderful to work with and even made sure I could see everything working on iPhoto, Quicken Essentials and other applications. They even partitioned for me two brand new external HDs for Time Machine and Super Duper backups. Austin, Texas is lucky to have you.

Flashback Data saved our company. When you have a server that crashes and you have 14 years of data stored in a single .dat file you tend to panic, particularly when you also find out the backup you thought was happening everyday behind the scenes, was turned off. First mistake? We panicked and we made poor decisions that ultimately cost us time and money. Had we gone to Flashback Data to begin with we would have been back in business quickly. Instead we opted to go with a different local company or should I say a guy who apparently works out of his home with a virtual office front. Had we stayed with him it would have cost us thousands, one because he didnt have the technology to analyze and recover our data from a SAS Raid 5 drive configuration and two he knew we were desperate. Lots of things happened and Ill spare you the details, bottom line we got our drives back, no recovery and out a whopping chunk of change, but not the thousands.Fashback Data was referred to us by our awesome local computer place VicomPC, see their review. Flashback Data was miles above in every way compared to the other company. They actually have an office, they are extremely professional, knowledgeable, reasonable, fast, communicative. After dealing with a guy who was definitely playing us for thousands, dealing with Flashback Data was like a breath of fresh air. Within 2 days we got an analysis of our situation and a full recovery, including the .dat file with 14 years of data that our software company was able to integrate back into the system. We are back in business today because Flashback Data had the technology and the know how to get the job done.Dont make rash decisions like we did, it was a hard lesson learned, we are just so thankful that we found Flashback Data, they are definitely the experts in town.
