"I was absolutely devastated when my MacBook died. Eight years of my business - everything - was on that laptop. I know I should have had backups but I kept putting it off. When Ahmad told me he might be able to recover my data, I was skeptical but desperate. The 18 hours they spent working on this felt like eternity. When Ahmad called me to say they recovered everything - ALL 987GB - I literally broke down crying in relief. My customer database, all my financial records for the audit, my clients' campaigns - everything was saved. They didn't just recover my data, they saved my business from collapsing. The RM 1,200 was the best money I've ever spent. They even set up cloud backup for me so this never happens again. I can't express how grateful I am."
