Data transfer near me · Victoria BC · Free assessment
Local file transfer for readable drives, unbootable laptops where the storage still mounts, laptop migrations, and backup setup across Greater Victoria. Upfront quote and same-day turnaround on most readable drives.
From unbootable operating systems to laptop migrations — if the drive is readable, I can help copy the files. If it's beyond my bench, I'll tell you upfront and point you to the right specialist.
If the laptop will not boot but the drive is still detected and readable, I can copy documents, photos, and profiles before an OS reinstall or replacement.
Moving files from an old working laptop to a new one, cloning a healthy drive to a fresh SSD, or setting up a clean folder transfer.
iPhones and Android devices with broken screens or boot loops — if it connects to a computer, there's a good chance the data is reachable.
After transfer, I help set up a proper backup routine so it doesn't happen again — local or cloud.
Drop off the drive or laptop and I'll tell you what can be transferred and what it will cost — before any work starts.
If the drive is readable, file extraction and cloning usually finish the same day.
If the drive needs a clean room or board-level work, I refer you to a trusted Victoria specialist with a clear cost estimate.
Most readable-drive transfers where the computer will not boot but the drive still mounts run $80–$150. If the drive is not detected or has physical damage, I'll refer you to a dedicated data-recovery lab.
Transfers from readable drives are usually same-day or next-day. Large photo libraries, damaged file systems, or very slow drives can take longer, and I'll keep you updated.
I may be able to try basic undelete software if the drive is readable and the deleted space has not been overwritten. For high-value deleted files, a dedicated data-recovery lab is safer.
No. If a drive does not power on, is not detected, clicks, grinds, or has severe physical damage, I will refer you to a dedicated data-recovery specialist.
Yes — when the MacBook or its storage is readable. If the internal storage is soldered and damaged, board-level specialists may be needed.
Text me what happened — I'll tell you quickly whether it's a same-day transfer or a referral to a specialist.
