We recover data from small RAID arrays with 16 drives, and from complex enterprise servers and storage networks consisting of hundreds of drives.
If your Dell EMC has crashed due to a power failure, multiple drive failure, corrupt volume, iNode or superblock, or if you have just performed a RAID rebuild that did not work and the server is hanging or will not boot, our engineers are on hand to advise you on the best action to take.
They have some of the highest levels of RAID recovery knowledge in the industry. They work with all RAID and storage server failures. Deleted data, corrupt data, reinitialised RAID arrays. The loss of access to data in a busy work environment can cause chaos, and our engineers are fully aware of this. That is why they will relentlessly pursue the best course of recovery, and quickly.
Corrupt file system or RAID
Corrupt inode or superblock
Lost storage pool
If you have already attempted recovery by issuing system commands, or have replaced a drive in order that a RAID rebuild can take place, if you’ve tried online RAID capacity expansion or migration, and none of these has worked, please stop now. This is a complex server, and it is easy to cause further damage, or even total data loss.
Successful Dell EMC Recovery demands skills that are found only in the top few data recovery companies. Our engineers have been able to work with every storage device they have encountered, and have the highest possible RAID recovery skills and RAID recovery experience in the industry. They recover data from all RAID storage devices ranging from the Dell PowerVault series, to the Dell EMC NS-120 and NS-480.
All file systems are recovered; NTFS, HFS+, Ext3, Ext4, UFS, XFS, ZFS, along with all operating systems from Windows, to Mac OS X, Unix, Linux, Solaris, Novell. Our RAID engineers recover RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 6, and nested RAID 30, RAID 50 and RAID 60. Their experience of virtual machines, VMWare and virtualisation is considerable. With such a broad skill base in-house, Retrodata represent a unique opportunity for the rapid recovery of your systems.
Why use Retrodata? • RAID Recovery • Emergency Recovery • Why RAID fails
If your Dell / EMC storage server has crashed, you’ve suffered multiple hard drive failure or any other failure and the system is down, you need professionals. This is not an IT Admin DIY job, and calls for specific RAID recovery and even forensics data recovery skills to prevent further data loss and return the server to full operation. Swiftly. Provided no data recovery attempts have been made whatsoever, we can practically guarantee a completely successful recovery from a Virgin RAID failure.
If you have been told that recovery is not possible, do not believe it; we consistently recover complex RAID systems that have been declared fit for nothing other than a re-format.
