how it all started.
The Kotar family started a service & shop for office machines and computers back in the 1960s. However, at the break of the millennium, our IT business started to come across an increasing number of customers with broken computers who were more interested in getting back their valuable data than having their hardware repaired. That is when we started offering data recovery services. Since then, we have solved thousands of cases with different levels of complexity - all the way from mission critical servers, NASs, RAIDs, HDDs, SSDs, to USB flash drives and tapes. We've been restoring data for individual customers, companies, governments, and embassies.
In 2005, we started our own Data Recovery Research Department. We develop innovative and unique data recovery solutions and revolutionary data recovery tools, such as the WD-HA Pro (a WD head calibration tool). We possess a large amount of complex knowledge and years of invaluable experience. We have attended the best data recovery seminars, tested the best data recovery software & tools around the world, and created our own fusion of global data recovery knowledge. We offer this unique knowledge and experience to our customers.
Robert Kotar is the owner of KOTAR Data Recovery. In 2012, he expanded his European business where he started his data recovery services in 1999, to Silicon Valley, CA. He constantly exchanges ideas and works on projects with highly specialized professionals and state of the art technology. He also runs in-house research and development.

our vision.
The world of IT is increasingly growing more complex and we create more information every single day. Data has become an extremely valuable asset, essential to our personal and professional lives and the consequences of data loss can be dire.
Our mission at Kotar Data Recovery is not only to restore people's precious data, but to do this efficiently, quickly, and securely.
We believe that success in data recovery is largely determined by the advanced knowledge, experience, inventiveness, perseverance, and passion. Therefore we constantly invest in our in-house research and development which provides us with powerful knowledge and leads to improvements of existing data recovery processes and revolutionary proprietary solutions to previously unsolved problems.
We also believe that data recovery is not just about the data and technology and that the most important part of our work is the people behind the data.
sustainability commitment.
We understand environmentally friendly sustainability practices are our responsibility and our active and effective role in protecting the planet.
In our efforts to adopt a greener approach to everyday practices, we follow the 3 Rs strategy: reduce, reuse, recycle.
We are going paperless wherever possible, reducing usage of energy, changing our lighting to energy-efficient LEDs, using biodegradable supplies when possible, reusing packaging materials, recycling and encouraging remote work to reduce carbon emissions.
The actions of one small business may not seem like much. However, we believe even one small step could be an example for others to join the effort to save the Earth.
