RAID 5 data recovery.
By the industry leaders.
Retrodata’s RAID recovery engineers are acknowledged to be some of the best in the industry, regularly and successfully recovering RAID 5 data from extremely corrupted storage systems – even if other providers have failed. If your storage has a failed drive, or even if multiple drives have failed, they are on call to assist. The manufacturer of your RAID is immaterial; Apple, Promise, Infortrend, Dell, Compaq – they understand all servers.
If you have already tried to rebuild the RAID and it has failed, or appears to be making no progress, please stop. Often, the best course of action requires immediately cutting the power source to the drives. Sometimes an orderly shutdown of a corrupted system will result in the modification or deletion of system files we need in order to carry out a recovery. If you contact us, we will discuss the failure and advise you what to do to ensure the best chance of recovery.
Our engineers are specialists in all RAID levels – not just RAID 5. They are able to deal with multiple drive failures, corrupted RAID parameters and partially overwritten data. They recover deleted data, formatted volumes, missing LUNs, and crashed storage pools.
All operating systems are covered; Apple Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, UNIX, Solaris – even proprietary systems.
There are no file systems our engineers cannot recover; NTFS, HFS+, Ext3, Ext4, UFS, FFS, XFS, ZFS – they are also specialists at virtualisation. They are amongst the few in the industry capable of Apple Xsan Recovery.
If your data is really important, you’ll want to know it is in good hands. With us, it will be. Both you and your data will be treated with respect, and with total confidentiality. Data is private; we make sure it stays private.
Even if another provider or IT administrator has told you the RAID cannot be recovered, please consider a second opinion. Our engineers consistently manage to recover data from condemned storage.
