Data recovery is a highly specialized process, requiring years of specific training and specific tools dedicated to the task. While your local IT support technician may be able to help get some data back in some cases, it is extremely easy to do more harm than good when attempting to recover data from a damaged hard drive or other storage media without the correct tools or training.
