CBL Data Recovery Technologies Discounts Services by 35% For Flood Damaged Computers in Texas

Don’t Throw Out the Hard Drive with the Flood Water: Data on Water-Ravaged Computers is Recoverable

HOUSTON, TX — June 29, 2007 — CBL Data Recovery Technologies Inc., a leading international provider of data recovery services, is extending to business and residential computer users in Texas affected by recent heavy rain and flash flooding a 35 per cent discount off the cost of data recovery services.

“Personal safety should be everyone’s foremost concern when bad weather hits,” says Bill Margeson, president and CEO of CBL Data Recovery Technologies Inc. “Once the initial crisis has passed, businesses then look to repair the damage caused by flooding and that can involve lost data due to water damaged personal computers and servers.”

The Internal Revenue Service suggests taxpayers and businesses engaged in paperless recordkeeping safeguard their electronic financial and tax records in the event of natural disasters like hurricanes or unforeseen disruptions. The IRS encourages copying of important records onto removable storage media such as USB drives, CDs or DVDs as backup.

If data backups are kept on CDs or DVDs offsite, the risk of data loss is dramatically reduced. However, if business and residential users discover flood-damaged PCs and servers, they should not throw in the towel. When taking assessment of their losses, computer users should know data is very resilient and is recoverable.

Whether the data is last month’s sales yet to be invoiced on the finance department’s server or personal files on the home computer, regularly backing up data on CDs and DVDs and storing them in a separate location is a best practice to follow regardless of where Texans work or live.

“Business owners shouldn’t delay taking the necessary actions to have the hard drives of their computers evaluated by data recovery experts to minimize business interruptions,” adds Margeson. “Data is a critical element of the operations of American businesses. When access to data is denied and companies suffer data loss, it can be crippling.”

For organizations with older water-damaged desktop PCs, servers and laptops, they can take comfort knowing that CBL’s data recovery expertise extends to every make, model and manufacturer and is not limited to today’s popular brands like Acer, Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Toshiba. CBL’s data recovery services are backed by its “No Data, No Charge” service guarantee.

CBL is America’s independent data recovery specialist. Its team of data recovery experts recovers data from all forms of digital storage media regardless of the manufacturer’s platform or operating system. CBL serves customers directly and through a national network of partners and agents. Its CBL Data Recovery Corporate Customer Program provides a discount on data recovery services when data loss disaster strikes. For a limited time, affected storage media may be sent to CBL through participating The UPS Store and Mailboxes Etc. retail locations across the U.S. at no charge to customers.

CBL Data Recovery Technologies extends its discount on services for flood-damaged computers until the July 30, 2007. For more information, business and residential customers in Texas can call CBL at 1-800-551-3917, 281-895-7515, or visit www.cbldatarecovery.com.
