Server Data Recovery:

Over the year’s large corporations, home grown businesses, and end users have migrated their data storage needs from a single hard drive. To high speed, multi-cached and distributed I/O configurations. Redundant Array of Independent Disks or RAID technology has been available for many years its prevalence has become increasingly significant due to larger operating systems, more robust applications and a myriad of graphic and sound storage requirements. At IDRDATA we understand all of these needs and address them on a personal level. The following are a list of action points that will help you, as well as us recovery your precious data.

1. Do not run chkdsk. Chkdsk is not a data recovery tool; its sole purpose is to align the file system so that it can be accessible by the operating system. In order to achieve this goal it will delete index data, reassign data pointers, and destroy raw data. RAIDs are especially susceptible to this utility because of the striping technologies used.

2. Do not move drives around in the enclosure. If the drive order is lost then the recovery becomes exponentially more difficult.

3. Dust adds to poor connectivity as well as restricted air flow which will cause damaging heat. Using a can of air clear all vents, fans, bus ports, and casing to make sure that all dust has been removed.

4. Heat plays a major role in the destruction of hard drives, memory, CPU, and various ICs. Heat will also degrade cabling and fans. Make sure that the room is cool, as well as all case fans are in working order and have the proper RPMs.

5. Check all connectors on all hardware. Vibrations due to fans, air conditioners, drive warbling, and other outside factors can slowly erode cable connectors.

The above are a general set of steps to take, but still should be addressed before any configuration adjustments are made.

Although RAID systems increase the speed and availability of data, and are specifically structured to protect your data, a RAID system can, under certain circumstances, fail. If your RAID has failed, you need help immediately. IDRDATA has more than 10 years of experience in RAID data recovery from virtually any configuration, including spanned and striped systems. We can handle anything from a RAID 0 data recovery to a RAID 5 data recovery and beyond.

Utilizing proprietary software and hardware solutions, IDRDATA is the ONLY choice for your vital RAID data. Don't be fooled by other companies that offer on-site or even worse: remote RAID data recovery options. Before any utilities are run against a RAID, all the disks must be cloned sector by sector. Anything other than that is data recovery accident waiting to happen. Just one mistake and all your data could be lost. Today, there are more and more data recovery companies that are advertising experience with RAID recovery. However, there is no RAID data recovery company that has the experience of working with storage devices that our company has. We have even recovered RAIDs that have been at some of our competitors’ labs!

We specialize in all types of RAID data recovery, from a RAID 0 data recovery, where all the disk devices are organized alternatively in order to reach higher efficiency, to a RAID 5 data recovery, where every file or data of the parity disk is spread over all the hard disks and the work load of the parity disk is reduced.

Server Data Recovery Process:

Begin your data recovery process by filling out our work order request form or simply call us toll-free at 1-888-848-2162 to speak to one of our representatives. The representative will ask you a series of questions to determine the cause of your data loss situation and then they will guide you through the recovery process.

Once your storage media is received by IDRDATA, it is immediately logged into our media tracker system. At this point, you will receive an e-mail from your representative who will confirm receipt of your media and give you a tracking number. You then can log in to our database to check the status of your recovery.

Your storage media is then placed in our lab to start the recovery process. During this process, a copy of your media is made. As part of our service commitment to you, a workable copy of your media is necessary in order to ensure the integrity of your original data is maintained at all times.

Once your data is recovered it is taken through a strict quality control process to ensure the data is in a useable format and a recovery technician will call you and validate your data.

Your data will then be returned to you on the media of your choice.

In the unfortunate situation where no data is recoverable, there will be no charge to you for the data recovery attempt.
