What Disk Doctors does

Disk Doctor Labs Inc., operating as Disk Doctors, is a privately held data recovery company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Cumming, Georgia, USA. The company operates two complementary business lines: a portfolio of perpetual-license data recovery software products sold directly through its website, and a professional services arm offering lab-based and remote data recovery across physical hard drives, RAID servers, Citrix XenServer virtual machines, tape media, memory cards, and smartphones.

The software catalog spans Windows, Mac OS X, Linux (Ext2/Ext3/Ext4), Solaris (UFS), and XFS, with specialized modules for photo, email (Outlook Express .dbx and Outlook .pst), iOS, and Android recovery, plus utility tools for drive cloning, drive health monitoring (Drive SOS), secure file shredding, encrypted backup (Cryptor with 128/256-bit AES), and Data Sanitization certified to DoD 5220.22-M, US Navy NAVSO P-5239-26-RLL, DoD 5220.28 STD, NATO, and Peter Gutmann standards. Core proprietary technologies include TurboScan for Linux deep recovery, Deep Scan algorithms that operate when other tools fail, and a low-level flash file system recovery method for iOS devices that retains multiple versions of the same file. Perpetual licenses are priced between $29.97 and $299.97, with free demos available for evaluation.

The company sells primarily through its own e-commerce storefront (powered by MyCommerce) with secure checkout and instant download, supported by toll-free phone sales lines in the US and UK and a live chat channel. Its professional services are delivered from physical labs in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, India, and Pakistan, with a secure remote-recovery offering for cases where shipping or physical access is impractical. Customer evidence is dominated by long-tail individual and SMB testimonials, with named institutional references including Microsoft, Peking University, and SAS Institute. The company is founder/owner-operated with no disclosed external funding rounds.
