LegacyBox and DriveSavers: A Partnership You Can Trust
LegacyBox has partnered with DriveSavers to support customers who discover data loss on their original media, such as tapes, film, or other analog storage. In some cases, media may arrive at LegacyBox already damaged, degraded, or unreadable due to age, exposure, or data corruption—making full digitization impossible.
Through this collaboration, LegacyBox customers have access to professional data recovery services from DriveSavers. With decades of experience, DriveSavers can often retrieve files from physically compromised or previously unreadable tape formats, helping preserve memories that might otherwise be lost forever.

As a LegacyBox customer, you’ll receive an exclusive 10% discount on our services with promo code DS57700.
