Crashed Novell Server?
Our engineers are standing by.
Since the earliest versions of Novell 286.x our engineers have been involved with the configuration and maintenance of Novell servers.
If your Novell Server has failed because of a hard drive crash, a software update means the volume is corrupt and will not mount, if your RAID failed and a RAID rebuild has not worked, our engineers are standing by. If the NSS rebuild utility failed, or the VRepair volume repair failed, you have allocation errors or the server will not boot, they will step up and help.
Our engineers are experienced in all operating systems, all file systems, and all storage devices with any RAID level. They will be able to recover a corrupt DET, and retrieve missing storage pools or logical volumes. Even if you have accidentally deleted data, they will restore your lost or missing data, recover your systems and get you up and running again. Quickly. And with minimum disruption to you or your staff.
Our engineers have witnessed scenes of downtime in a busy working environment. They have experience of the dramatic effect and cost this can have to a company. This is why they will work relentlessly on the best solution to prevent further data loss, and restore you to full production.
If your data resides on a failed RAID array, our engineers have the best skills in the industry, and are usually able to perform a full RAID recovery and restore in a matter of hours – not days.
Why use Retrodata? • RAID Recovery • Emergency Recovery • Why RAID fails
Recovering Novell Servers from:
- Novell volume is corrupt or will not mount
- FAT (File Allocation Table) or DET (Directory Entry Table) becomes corrupt
- Failure of VRepair volume repair (NWFS)
- Failure of Rebuild utility (NSS)
- Novell server raid failure
- Disappearance of storage pools or logical volumes
- Data mirror mismatch inconsistencies (possibly bad sectors)
- Multiple allocation errors (possibly bad sectors)
- Corrupted Hot fix tables
- Corrupt partition table
- Server hardware failure
- Storage failure
- Accidental data deletion
- Accidental volume format or delete
