DriveSavers and KelbyOne Partner

DriveSavers, Inc., in data recovery services and eDiscovery solutions, is partnering with KelbyOne, LLC, a subscriber-based online education resource for creative people, to offer recovery of digital assets to the group’s 250,000 members.

DriveSavers has helped more than 50,000 customers recover digital images, including the retrieval of more than 750 images from a camera that was submerged in 60 feet of frigid Alaskan waters for three days. DriveSavers performs data recovery from digital cameras, and is recommended by all camera and card manufacturers to perform data recovery on their products.

“It’s frightening to think about, but a photographer’s career could be jeopardized if they experience data loss,” said Chris Bross, senior enterprise recovery engineer, DriveSavers. “Every photographer should be aware of how to properly handle flash memory cards and prevent the loss of precious and valuable photographs.“

Since the company began recovering data from flash memory cards more than a decade ago, digital photography has taken the world by storm and potential problems concerning data loss have evolved.

“The nature of our members’ businesses and hobbies make it crucial to have a support system to go to when literally all else fails,” said Krista Smith Rosado, director of marketing, KelbyOne. “Their files – be it photos, design docs, business support files – are their livelihood and valuable assets. Partnering with DriveSavers as a reliable source for data recovery service gives our members the comfort and piece of mind that their work is protected in any event.“

DriveSavers has been in business since 1985 and recovers data from all types of removable media, HDDs, SSDs and flash memory cards. The company has recovered all types of files including digital images, accounting records, client information, contacts, calendars and customer mailing lists. Photographers, musicians, game developers, web/graphic designers as well as major film and audio production studios such as DreamWorks, Lucasfilm, NBC/Universal Studios have turned to DriveSavers for data recovery.

Subscribers to KelbyOne will receive special discounts on DriveSavers services, and benefit from the company’s customer service and success rate.

DriveSavers was at the 2014 Wedding and Portrait Photography Expo (WPPI), on March 3 – 5 and discussed the importance of backups, proper handling of camera cards and what to do when data loss occurs.
