I have a 30g Seagate ATA2 drive which has failed -
The user failed to inform me that the backup client (retrospect) had 
warned him that the machine had not been backed up.......

I called Drive Savers - their price quote was:
$500 - $2700

So - I m looking for any reputable alternatives

Thanks!

Why bother?  Just replace the user instead.  Problem solved...

Ok, to make it more useful, charge the user the full cost of data
recovery.  That ought to reinforce the lesson...

Their is one in virgina but they charge by the hour, Driversavers would
be cheaper. If you are interested about the one in virginia email me.
Or I will post it here tomorrow becuase I don't have the information
with me right now.
