HP Customers in India, Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, and China Referred to CBL When Data Loss Disaster Strikes
Free Evaluation and "No Data, No Charge" Service Guarantee

    SINGAPORE, Oct. 17 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- CBL Data
Recovery Technologies Inc. today announced that CBL has
been selected as the data recovery services partner for HP
in Australia, China, India, Singapore and Taiwan.  Under
the terms of a marketing alliance, HP Service Centre and HP
Contract Centre Agents will refer existing HP customers to
CBL for data recovery services when hard drives, tapes and
other storage media fail and data residing on these devices
is inaccessible.

    "Customers are traumatized when data loss disaster
strikes," states Bill Margeson, President and CEO of
CBL Data Recovery Technologies Inc.  "HP's decision to
partner with CBL is not only a vote of confidence for CBL
and our technical expertise, but also demonstrates how
committed HP is to the total care of its customers.  CBL is
ready to come to the rescue of HP customers when data loss
disaster strikes and data on their HP server, notebook, PC
or even HP digital camera is inaccessible."

    From October 17 to November 17, 2006, CBL will extend
to existing HP customers a 20 percent discount off the
quoted price for data recovery services performed on HP
storage media.

    "Data protection is a major concern of businesses
today, especially for small and mid-sized businesses.  When
data is inaccessible, business continuity is affected,"
notes Dennis Mark, Vice President of Marketing, Personal
Systems Group, Asia Pacific and Japan, HP.  "HP's
collaboration with CBL is very timely as we have just
launched HP Total Care, one of the industry's most
comprehensive lifecycle support and service program for
customers.  Offered under the pillar of Total Care
"Protect", CBL services will help us to ensure
that customers are connected to tools that keep their
business data safe."

    Data Recovery Services from CBL

    CBL utilizes proprietary techniques to perform data
recovery on all media such as, but not limited to, HP and
Compaq notebook and desktop personal computers, HP SAN and
HP NAS storage products, HP RAID arrays, HP tape devices,
and HP Photosmart digital cameras.

    Data recovery processes vary depending on the type of
media, the physical condition of the media and the degree
of difficulty associated with the restoration of data. 
CBL's technicians perform data recoveries in Class 100
clean rooms 365 days of the year. 

    Normal data recovery service returns data back to
customers within 72 business hours following the technical
evaluation of the media which takes approximately six
hours.  CBL provides customers with a free evaluation of
their affected media and a firm quote as well as a "No
Data, No Charge" service guarantee.  This means HP
customers only pay for results.

    For a premium, HP customers can request CBL's priority
rush service.  CBL's emergency recovery teams can recover
data and have it back to customers in as little as 24
hours.  

    Recovered data is returned to HP customers on CD or
DVD.

    Adds Mark, "HP is also collaborating with CBL to
design and deliver a data recovery service plan which is
like an "insurance" plan that protects HP
customers from the unforeseen expense of recovering data
when the data on their new HP notebook or desktop PC's hard
drive becomes inaccessible.  This optional service offering
will be available to HP customers in the second quarter of
2007."
