Once you are notified of the process completion you will be advised of the size of the data recovered and requested to bring in a portable drive with sufficient free space to hold your recovered files.
Data Recovery will not rescue any applications, only the files they created.
Directory Structures and any user added attributes/comments are not usually available.
MP3s, WAVs,TIFFs, GIFs, JPEGs, Movies, Photo's, Documents, etc will all be recovered as stand alone files and due to nature of the data recovery some of the recovered files may be corrupted.
Once the you are notified of the process completion you will be advised of the size of the data recovered and requested to bring in a portable drive with sufficient free space to hold your recovered files. Once you provide the drive your data will be available for you to collect on the next working day ~Monday-Friday. Any drive left on Saturday will need to be collected on Monday afternoon

The data is most often salvaged from storage media such as internal or external hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), USB flash drives, magnetic tapes, CDs, DVDs, RAID subsystems, and other electronic devices. Recovery may be required due to physical damage to the storage device or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host operating system (OS).
The most common data recovery scenario involves an operating system failure, malfunction of a storage device, accidental damage or deletion, etc. (typically, on a single-drive, single-partition, single-OS system), in which case the goal is simply to copy all wanted files to another drive. This can be easily accomplished using a Live CD, many of which provide a means to mount the system drive and backup drives or removable media, and to move the files from the system drive to the backup media with a file manager or optical disc authoring software.
Such cases can often be mitigated by disk partitioning and consistently storing valuable data files (or copies of them) on a different partition from the replaceable OS system files.
