We can recover data from almost any operating system, including; Windows, Linux, Unix, VMFS, ESXi, XFS, SFS and from all makes of server (Hp, Compaq, IBM, Fujitsu, Sun, etc).

RAID are usually used in server system allowing central access to critical data for example;

  • Email Server - Exchange, Groupmail, hMailserver, etc.
  • SQL Server - MySQL, MS SQL Server, Postgres SQL, etc
  • File Servers - Accounts packages, User stores, etc
  • Web Servers - eCommerce, Websites, ftp servers, etc.
Some machines may also have Virtual servers all running from the same box so a system failure could result with several core functions dropping at the same time.

If you need help with your lost data from a RAID server, NAS, SAN or any other server storage device please contact us on 0800 072 3282 - it may not be as bad as it seems!

Laptop Data Recovery

A large number of computers sold are laptop computers. They are light and portable. Modern laptops contain very large hard disks at the time of writing this article 500Gb are often seen here for data recovery. One of the most common problems we see are drives where the heads have crashed. The main cause is actually part of the design of the computer - remember the bit where I said 'they are light and portable'? It is easy to put the computer on your lap, then when you need to get up, lift the computer up and put it to one side. This movement can cause a head crash especially if the heads are reading or writing at the time. Most manuals that we have seen recommend putting the computer on a firm surface like a desk or a table and in fact NOT putting it on your lap - strange that they are called 'laptops' when it is not recommended to use them as such. Some manufacturers have developed hardware that detects when the computer is being moved and pulls the heads to a saf...

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...
