Tape Recovery - Data Recovery

Data Recovery from Tape.

Recovering data from tapes involves first getting an binary image of the tape. We do this using our own software so as to get the best image possible.

Once we have the tape image, we then work out the software that was used to create the backup tape.

Again we have written our own backup recovery software so that we can get the maximum amount of data from the tape.

We are able to recover data from all types of tape including:
AIT,  DAT, DDS, DLT, LTO, QIC, SAIT, SDLT, Travan, Ultrium and most other tape formats.

We are also able to recover from most backup software on all platforms. For more information please check out out our Tape Recovery pages.

ReFS (Resiliant File System) Data Recovery

MS ReFS (Resiliant File System) Data Recovery Microsoft introduced their Resilient File System (ReFS) with Windows Server 2012. It is a 'self repairing' file system that detects errors and rebuilds data. MjM Data Recovery are now able to recover data from this file system from single drive servers  to multi drive raid systems . Please visit our main website for details of our Data Recovery Services .

Raid Recovery

Raid recovery is a specialist type of data recovery service. RAID is an acronym of R edundant A rray of I nexpensive D rives and consists of at least two drives that are configured as a single volume or container. The most common forms of RAID are described below. RAID 0 requires a minimum of two drives that gives the full disk size of both drives as a single volume the data is stored in stripes each stripe consisting of a block of data on each drive block sizes are typically 64kb but we have block sizes from 4kb to 2 Mb in size. This is the cheapest type of RAID but has no redundancy. If one drive fails, then access to all data on both drives is lost. RAID 1 Requires 2 drives the second drive is an identical copy of the first drive meaning that you only get the equivalent of one drive for the price of two. Expensive but offers redundancy so one drive can fail and you can still access the data on the second drive. RAID 5 Requires a minimum of three drives. Is similar to RAID 0 in...

Chip off memory recovery

MjM Data Recovery Ltd have been recovering data since 1999 Removal of the chips are fairly straightforward. For most of them you can just apply enough heat and they will come off. This stage can become complicated if the devices are glued onto the PCB or are BGA type pads on the bottom of the chip that are not easily accessible. Hot-air guns can be used, but we prefer Infra-Red for BGA type Flash memory removal as the process is cleaner and there is less chance of pad damage. Once the chip has been read, the next stage is very complex. You will need to have access to a NAND flash reader. There are hundreds of different types of chips with varying block sizes, some are designed to be used according to the device controller on the PCB. There are 3 favoured devices for reading NAND chips, there are three main contenders in the Flash Recovery Market. Soft Center Flash reader  Flash Extractor. This has been available since the early 2000's and we bought our first one in 2004 wh...
