The Importance of Being Redundant Part II

I got an email back form the DR company regarding my drive. Check this out:

"Through our evaluation of your hard drive, we have determined that a full recovery of your files is probable. Our evaluation revealed that the data on your drive has been lost due to intermittent disk head failure, resulting in moderate platter damage. The cause of the head failure is unknown, but the platter damage was caused by continued oscillation of the heads while directly contacting the platter surface (after the crash). By looking at past cases, which were similar to yours, we estimate that there is an 85% chance of a complete recovery. While we make every effort to save our clients' data in every instance, it is always possible that the data will not be recoverable.

We estimate the cost for completion to be $1250..."


Guess what, Nelson, you aren't getting your data back anytime soon. Any advice out there for what I should do?

Peace,
Nelson
