how it all started.
The Kotar family started a service and shop for office machines and computers back in the 1960s. However, at the turn of the millennium, our IT business began encountering an increasing number of customers with broken computers who were more interested in recovering their valuable data than repairing their hardware. That’s when we started offering data recovery services.
Since then, we’ve successfully handled thousands of cases with varying levels of complexity—ranging from mission-critical servers, NASs, RAIDs, HDDs, SSDs, to smartphones, USB flash drives and tapes. We've been restoring data for individuals, small businesses, enterprises, governments, healthcare providers and educational institutions, as well as embassies.
In 2005, we established our Data Recovery Research Department, where we develop innovative and proprietary data recovery solutions, including groundbreaking tools like the WD-HA Pro (a WD head calibration tool). With years of invaluable experience, unparalleled knowledge, and the implementation of AI-driven techniques, we proudly offer cutting-edge data recovery solutions to our customers.
Robert Kotar is the owner of Kotar Data Recovery. In 2012, he expanded his European business, where he had started offering data recovery services in 1999, to Silicon Valley, CA. He continuously collaborates with highly specialized professionals, utilizes state-of-the-art technology, and incorporates AI-driven data recovery solutions. He also runs in-house research and development.

our vision.
The world of IT is increasingly complex, and we create more information every day. Data has become an extremely valuable asset, essential to both our personal and professional lives, and the consequences of data loss can be dire.
At Kotar Data Recovery, our mission is not only to restore people’s precious data but to do so efficiently, quickly, and securely.
We believe that success in data recovery is largely determined by advanced knowledge, experience, inventiveness, perseverance, and passion. Therefore, we continuously invest in our in-house research and development, which equips us with powerful insights and leads to improvements in existing data recovery processes as well as revolutionary proprietary solutions to previously unsolved problems.
We believe that data recovery is not just about the data and technology; the most important aspect 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.
