That's a bummer. It's almost impossible to recover those if he would not seek help from data recovery experts in the field. Not just your random tech who recovers files on traditional hard drives, but someone with professional-grade equipment and skills that are specialized on data recovery. $900k is a huge sum, though data recovery is a tedious and delicate process that there is always a chance that the files may never be recovered, but you still have to pay for the work and time of those you hired.

Or if the man is anxious enough or doubtful that these guys will return what they recovered, then perhaps just accept that he did this mistake on himself and that there's no one else to blame but him.


No.
