They don’t just recover your data; as part of the recovery procedure, the entire storage server itself is restored and recovered, eliminating unnecessary additional downtime caused by days or even weeks of copying volumes of data back and forth. The server is returned to you in as much as 80% less time than with alternative recovery methods. They work with small RAID arrays consisting of 16 drives, right up to storage networks consisting of hundreds of drives.
If you cannot access data on your Proware RAID, if a hard drive failed, or even more than one drive has failed, they are on call, waiting to advise and help you. If you have tried a RAID rebuild that did not work, or have run standard system commands that have not brought your server online, please stop and call us. It is important that you obtain specialist advice to reduce the chance of further data loss, or even catastrophic data destruction.
Our RAID engineers are ready to move quickly to restore lost data, missing LUNs, crashed RAID, and all other critical system failures. They regularly recover corrupted RAID storage that has been declared unrecoverable by other companies. They will work relentlessly to recover your systems, repair the RAID and return you to production. Quickly and efficiently.
Failed hard drive (or multiple disks)
RAID expansion failed
RAID migration failed
Corrupted RAID or file system
Cannot access a share or volume
Cannot see LUNs
Our engineers work with all RAID levels, and all operating systems. Many of their recovery techniques bypass the operating system. They know and understand storage. It does not matter what your device is; if the data is critical, and time is an issue, you need the best.
Why use Retrodata? • RAID Recovery • Emergency Recovery • Why RAID fails
Recovering Proware from the following failures:
- Device will not boot
- Corrupt file system or corrupted RAID parameters
- Cannot access the device or share
- Capacity expansion failed
- Corrupt or missing storage pool
- RAID rebuild failed – or the system is hanging
- Corrupted volume or missing LUN
