|---|---|---|
| A school server that will not mount its volume | Admissions, pupil records and timetabling all sit behind one array | All the disks, marked by bay |
| A card from a festival production at Bedales | A Shakespeare festival photographs itself for weeks on end | Stop shooting; send the card |
| A land-survey laptop from up on the Downs | Mapping and landscape work stacks up before anyone copies it | Imaged in full first, then read file by file |
| A small firm's external from Bedford Road | Business park units keep client work on a single disk | Leave it powered down and send it in |
| The local paper's picture archive on a disk | Years of town photography kept in one place only | Tell us the deadline and the queue follows it |
How a Petersfield case is handled.
Four questions Petersfield asks, answered plainly.
Can a drive be handed in at Petersfield, or must it be posted?
There is no counter here and nobody calls round for parcels. Either send it on a tracked service, or carry it in to the Guildford intake laboratory yourself, Mon–Fri 9am–5:30pm. The price is unchanged by which you pick.
Can a school get its records off a server that has stopped?
Usually. A server or RAID set travels as bare disks, each labelled with the bay it came out of, and a NAS unit can be sent whole. Send the drives rather than the machine, and leave any rebuild alone.
A camera card from a school production will not open — is that fixable?
Often. What fails first on a card is the index rather than the pictures, and an index can be rebuilt from what is still held on the flash. The outcome turns on nothing else being written to it.
Does a GU31 or GU32 address change the price?
No. Memory cards and sticks run from £250 + VAT, one drive on its own costs £300 + VAT, a recorder £400 + VAT, and multi-disk work from £500 + VAT. Diagnosis costs nothing, and the quote is written before any work.
