Great stuff. They do exactly what they say they will. Fast, efficient and accurate. It would be great if they had some slower-to-process rates for private clients that are more affordable (for one's family pictures?), but perhaps this is not economically viable. Either way; well done and I can safely recommend them. Don't hesitate to send your drive. It is in good hands."

Testimonials

I had previously had my corrupted hard drive at other "experts" who told me the drive was irrecoverable. Tecleo Lab recovered 95% of my precious 15,000 photos which are priceless! Not only did they do it timeously and efficiently, they were some of the nicest people I have ever met. Thank you, Tecleo for giving me back my memories!!!!"

The reception was prompt and professional. 2. Quotation received the same day. 3. Service request - recovery of data a week earlier than expected. 4. Discount was negotiable and fair. Although still expensive(only complaint) the rest is worth a 5 star rating which left me as a happy customer of Tecleo Data."

Testimonials

I have a NAS device with 6 drives that is on a network where all our work finally sits. After a years work of Video production (close to 17TB), I replaced the Drives with fresh new drives for the new years worth of work and kept the old drives as back-up to be used whenever we might need those files. The NAS continued to work fine until 2 months later when I put the old set of drives back to access the old data. To my horror, none of the drives where readable anymore - they showed up as having data - just that the NAS could not read it! The NAS could see only the new drives if fitted back but not all my old work. No joy at all was received from the manufacturer in decoding the info to be read by our computers. We realised only too late that the NAS worked like that - once reconfigured, it could not see the old stuff. I am very thankful to come across a company like TECLEO who not only saved the day by decoding and safely transferring all the data onto readable new drives but in such an efficient and cost saving way. They kept us timeously informed of progress and most importantly, kept to the agreed price despite the laboriously long job. I will definitely recommend this company that stands out among the rest because of their principles and not being driven by greed as is so commonplace nowadays."

My external hard drive became noisy, and then at once became unable to mount. With hindsight, I could have acted on the slightly increased vibration from the drive before it failed. Tecleo recovered the majority of the files on my drive, which were family photos of sentimental value to us. It must have been a very tedious job, as it took much longer than expected. Tecleo along the way communicated professionally with us. Despite it taking much longer, they stood by their initial cost estimate."

This was the first time that I required recovery of my stock of e-books that was locked in an external drive. I had lost all hope of recovering it but decided to give Tecleo a try to get my library back and the investment paid off. Tecleo were able to recover my hard drive 100% and they did this in lesser time then they stipulated. I now have my holiday reading material back and its all thanks to Tecleo. Well done Tecleo team."

Being a musician/producer/gamer and an avid user of my computer, I have put my PC to the test one time too many. I lost my hard-drive to old age & over-use. I had many extremely important files which I just couldn't lose, and just when I gave up hope. I contacted the CSIR, who advised me that "TecLeo" is the best in the business. "If they can't restore your data, no one can." Contacting them I experienced great service and because I am a private user, they gave me a decent price. Within no time I was quoted and set for the recovery. Thanks a million.

Fantastic service. I wholeheartedly recommend these guys to everyone. I was a bit worried about sending my hard drive to them for recovery from Botswana to South Africa. The process of creating a commercial tax invoice was the most worrying. I have had bad experiences in the past with things getting stuck at customs and then customs charging me large amounts of money. Martin and Henk helped me through the process and it was completely painless. Their email communication is prompt and they are happy to help with any questions or issues you may have. They have a variety of payment methods which you can use, the most convenient for me being Paypal, and stopped me having to pay excessive bank charges. Most importantly they rescued all my data!! Couldn't be happier! And they got it done in 3 days on the standard service! Thanks Again!"

I run regular backups and when my HDD started giving problems recently I was not too concerned. Simply replace the HDD, restore the backup and off we go… If only it was that simple. Whilst trying to restore my backup, I learnt with great shock and disbelief that the virtual machine on my Mac did not back up properly. I started panicking as the majority of data resided on the virtual machine and no matter what I tried, I simply could not gain access to vital directories and files. It was with great relief that I came across the Tecleo team, not only did they provide a friendly and efficient service, they also recovered all of my data. Thanks for a professional and efficient service, much appreciated!"

Testimonials

I own a pharmacy in a small suburb in Chatsworth, Durban. The pharmacy over many years, has gained approximately 13 000 patients profiles and has done over 125 000 scripts. I thought having 2 back-ups and various power surge protectors, nothing could affect me – how wrong I was. In a matter of seconds my life I thought was over, as I lost almost 2 decades of patient & account information in a nano second. It was discovered that a high power surge through my computer had destroyed my hard-drive and both the back-ups. I approached my computer software company and they told me my data was lost forever, every other pharmacy that had this problem had zero success of recovery and if anything was recovered at all, it was useless or corrupted. In approximately 24 hours Tecleo changed that statistic forever. Not only did Tecleo recover 100% of my data, but also none of my files or information was damaged or corrupted. The computer software company was left speechless. The attitude of the two technicians roused displayed confidence & mature professionalism. They calmly assessed the three hard drives sent to them, always updating me, via-mail, so I could make an informed decision about what data must be extracted. Tecleo Data Recovery and Digital Forensics Lab expediently recovered the data from my hard-drives and transferred it on to 2 CD’s which was soon safely sent via courier in a convenient wrapping. This experience was unforgettable, as they turned a nightmare into pure utopia & bliss. As a health professional and somewhat of a computer fundi I cannot commend Tecleo anymore but to say, you guys have set a standard that surpasses simple data recovery.
Thank you."

BAIE GOEIE NUUS - Mariana se hardeskyf wat begin Mei gecrash het is uiteindelik recover. Al die fotos is gered! Ons het 8 Mei die hardeskyf ingegee by Intratec in Midrand. Op 15 Julie het hulle ons laat weet dat hulle uiteindelik opgee en dat hulle geen sukses gehad het met die herwinning van die data nie. In al hierdie weke se wag het hulle ons ingelig dat hulle 2 keer moes parte aan die hardeskyf vervang. Ons het Donderdag 16 Julie die hardeskyf by Tecleo Data Recovery and Digital Forensics Lab in Centurion ingegee. Met die eerste oogopslag het hulle gesê dat Intratec nooit eens die hardeskyf oop gemaak het nie. Die seëls van die hardeskyf van nog heel. Net 1 week later was die job gedoen - suksesvol !! Waar die eerste maatskappy in 10 weke niks kon reg kry nie. Ek beveel met vrymoedigheid Tecleo Data Recovery and Digital Forensics Lab in Centurion aan vir enige Data Herwinning hetsy rekenaar, selfoon, memory kaarte. Hierdie maatskappy weet wat hulle doen."
