Data Backup/Recovery
gary09202000 writes "Data recovery questions to ask the vendor
- By Gary J
Also, see three golden rules of reducing data recovery costs and outsourcing data recovery to India,China


Questions to ask the data recovery vendor
  • Is there a visit cost or appraisal cost to give the data recovery estimate?
Some data recovery vendors charge you just to give an estimate.
  • Is there a charge even if nothing is recovered?
Most data recovery vendors charge nothing is no data is recovered
  • Is there a charge for partial recovery?

Some data recovery vendors charge a portion of the data recovery costs for semi-recovery
  • Is the data recovery fee work on
    • Flat rate data recovery prices
    • Per hour prices data recovery prices
    • Per MB of data recovery prices
    • Annual data recovery contract

Our advice is that if you are a SME,you should go for a fixed rate , in case you represent a large corporation,you should have an annual data recovery contract with Service level agreements built in
  • Are there any other charges? Travel charges,courier charges,professional charges etc

Most data recovery vendors charge for courier and travel costs.This alone could double your data recovery bill.
  • Warranties
    • Is there a warranty period on the data recovery just accomplished?
  • Is there an additional charge for the data recovery warranty period?

Most data recovery offer a warranty period (you should insist on this) Some data recovery vendors charge around 10-15% of the data recovery prices as additional warranty costs.
Ensure that you ask the above questions and you will ensure that you get great service! Gary J Technical Desk, http://www.data-recovery-reviews.com
