If your Apple RAID has crashed due to a failed drive (or even multiple drive failures), and a RAID rebuild failed, or the controller has failed meaning you cannot access the volume or a share – even if you have a damaged or corrupt volume, or a software upgrade means the server will not boot – our engineers are able to recover data from all these failures. Their RAID recovery skills, and their ability to work with all operating systems (Mac OS, Linux, UNIX, Windows, Novell and others) and all file systems means they have the expertise required to deal with the most complex RAID failures.
They are able to recover lost, missing or corrupt data from any RAID level; RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 6 – even nested RAID 30, RAID 50, RAID 60 and proprietary RAID such as found in Data Robotics Drobo and Netgear storage devices. They will restore your data and return you to production. Quickly, efficiently and with minimal disruption.
A failed Apple Server or Apple Storage in a busy production environment, where everyone is struggling to meet deadlines, can bring work to a standstill. For companies involved in video editing, broadcasting or post production, downtime is not an option. We’re aware of that, which is why we make sure we can move quickly in an emergency to restore access to your data.
Corrupt superblock or inode
Accidental re-format or deleted data
RAID array reinitialised
RAID controller failed
Cannot access a share
Corrupt Video Footage recovery
Apple equipment sets the standard for the video and film editing industry, and we receive numerous failed Mac RAID storage devices to recover post-production video. These range from Apple’s own Xserve and Xsan, to those manufactured by Avid, globalSAN, TerraBlock, LaCie, Maxtor One-Touch, DROBO, Thecus, Promise VTrak and a variety of proprietary and other generic devices.
