OT: Recommendations for a company that can recover data from a UNIX hard drive for a filepro job

[Nancy Palmquist]

I may need to find a company that can recover data from a SCO Unix hard 
drive that has malfunctioned.

The company that we tried seem to have run up against a limit in their 
tools that cut all files bigger than 64.3 Mg to that size.

We have 3 critical files that are much bigger than that.  Filesize limit 
on that UNIX is 2 Gb and I expect these files are at least 1 Gb.

Second company wants to know how big the first are before they will try 
to recover just those 3 files that the 1st company could not.

Of course, with all things Murphy's law kicked in and while they were 
changing the backup drive each day no one had taken notice that that 
backups had stopped working more than 4 months earlier. (Setup 
originally printed a daily backup report but no one wanted it any more 
so we were down to no notice sent.)

I think these things will be attended to much more in the future but 
they learned the hard way after having a Unix computer (not the same 
hardware) for over 35 years.  Got used to just having it work without 
issue and did not take notice when it started malfunctioning.

Does anyone have a recommendation if we need third hand in this pot?
