It has happened: your hard disk has failed and there is no backup.

Step one: ISG D-ARCH

Shut down your computer immediately and contact the members of the ISG.

Depending on the kind of defect, we may be able to restore your data, possibly all of it – but without any guarantee.

Step two: data recovery service

If we cannot help, you can contact the external company «Ontrack» (with a branch in Switzerland), which offers special discount prices for students to recover their data:

Please note:

  • A copy of a valid student or school ID card is required.
  • The offer applies only to single disks (Windows, Linux, macOS) and only to data related to your studies.
