Data Conversion

Computer technology changes at a rapid pace and it often is not long before the media that data is stored on begins to conflict with newer versions of that media. Businesses today have saved time and money by converting essential old records and archives to updated media. These conversions allow vital data to be accessed as quickly as current media files. Hard Disk Recovery Services can upgrade your data from old technology to new technology within a wide range of data storage media and formats.

Hard Disk Recovery Services specializes in the following conversions:

UNIX storage formats to Windows NT formats

Our technicians have customized sophisticated tape conversion software that convert UNIX archives into PC formats. This software is continuously being upgraded to match the data recovery needs of today's rapidly changing technology. Hard Disk Recovery Services have continuously improved this software and other research and development techniques to keep pace with the changes in media and technology.

EBCDIC and other formats to ASCII

Sometimes data can be transferred to another system, but cannot be used. Transfers between IBM Mainframe data encoded with EBCDIC are not possible with UNIX or PC systems, because they are not compatible. Any EBCDIC data transferred to a PC system will likely cause crashes. Hard Disk Data Recovery Systems has the know how to transfer such data with complete function.

COBOL to ASCII

Hard Disk Recovery Services is fully capable of translating all COBOL record descriptions to ASCII, as well as converting both COPY and SAVE format data into ASCII. All conversions are capable of containing printable numeric fields loadable to most PC and UNIX applications.

VAX Data

The structure of VAX VMS records are commonly incompatible with Windows or UNIX applications. The technicians of Hard Disk Recovery Services have the knowledge to fully convert data from a VMS backup set to the system you desire.

In additional to data conversion and the data recovery services which founded our company, we use the same technology for CD duplication. If you have data you want backed up, we can help.
