professional data recovery in santa rosa
secure recovery for fire, smoke, power & storage failures
Santa Rosa wineries, agricultural businesses, county and professional offices, healthcare providers, creative professionals, drone operators, schools, small businesses, and families rely on data stored across computers, external drives, SSDs, RAID systems, servers, camera media, phones, and backup storage.
A device affected by heat, smoke, soot, unstable power, physical damage, or storage failure can interrupt business operations, vineyard and production records, mapping projects, administrative work, creative projects, and access to irreplaceable personal files.
With 26+ years of experience, Kotar Data Recovery helps Santa Rosa clients recover data from hard drives, SSDs, RAID and NAS systems, servers, Macs, phones, flash storage, virtual machines, encrypted volumes, and damaged backup devices.
Free, secure courier pickup is available throughout Santa Rosa and across the Bay Area. You can also request a free shipping label or visit our San Jose lab by appointment.
We will examine your device within 2 hours after it arrives at our lab and provide the recovery options and a fixed quote before any work begins.

santa rosa data recovery success stories
A Sonoma County business lost access to production and accounting files after a power event damaged a multi-drive storage system. Our engineers protected the original drives, reconstructed the storage layout, and recovered the accessible business data.
