Introduction:
Bolaine Investments Inc., a company providing technical support for Marine Communications Systems, faced a major data crisis when a hard drive failure resulted in a severely corrupted PST file. With outdated backups and critical communications data at stake, they needed an urgent solution. Stellar Repair for Outlook came to the rescue, restoring 80% of the data and ensuring the company could continue serving their high-stakes clients in the marine industry.
Background:
The client specializes in designing and supporting marine communication systems for organizations such as the Canadian and U.S. Coast Guard. These systems are often deployed in life-support missions where reliable communication is essential. The unexpected hard drive failure not only threatened crucial emails and technical data files but also jeopardized the company’s ability to provide real-time support for critical maritime missions. With so much on the line, an efficient and effective recovery was paramount.
“ Statement from the customer:
Stellar recovery is a great tool, but people with online complaints stem from unrealistic expectations. No tool will have a 100% recovery from a bad drive. As a professional, if you get 80-90%, you should feel satisfied. My company and I have been satisfied with Stellar for more than a decade, and it will always be our first choice.” – Robert Gauthier, Bolaine Investments Inc

Impact on the Business:
The corrupted PST file contained key technical information essential for marine communication systems’ support. Without access to this data, the client risked serious operational delays, potentially affecting life-critical missions. Every moment without access to these files increased the likelihood of downtime, potentially damaging their reputation and client trust—costs that were both financially and reputationally steep.
Attempted Solutions:
Initially, the client attempted to recover the data using well-known recovery tools such as EaseUS Data Recovery and Disk Drill. Unfortunately, these tools were unable to successfully restore the PST file, yielding either incomplete or unsatisfactory results. With each failed attempt, the urgency of finding a robust recovery solution only increased.
Solution and Benefits:
The client turned to Stellar Repair for Outlook, which proved highly effective. Despite severe corruption in the 2TB hard drive, Stellar successfully recovered 80% of the data, preserving critical communication and support files. This allowed the client to continue operations seamlessly, ensuring uninterrupted support to their marine clients. The team found Stellar’s tools reliable and efficient, ultimately adopting Stellar as their preferred data recovery solution.
Conclusion:
Stellar Repair for Outlook proved to be a reliable solution in the face of a significant data disaster. Bolaine Investments restored most of the data from a badly corrupted hard drive, preventing what could have been a disastrous scenario for their business and clients. Moving forward, the company continues to rely on Stellar products as their go-to solution for data recovery.
