The time required for data recovery depends on factors such as the type of device, extent of damage, and the complexity of the recovery process. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few hours to several days. If the issue is straightforward, such as recovering deleted files, it may take less time. However, if the damage is severe, such as physical damage or corruption, the recovery process may take longer. Professional data recovery services can provide a more accurate estimate based on the specific situation.
