Retrieve Lost Information From Drives And Disks With RAID Data Recovery Tools

By Angel Dudley


When you have lost your valuable information from RAID array storage media, you need a helping hand of professional RAID data recovery technicians to rescue the information and restore it back. Although RAID array data storage media are considered fault tolerance meaning that they do not get damage easily, there is possibility that information can be lost.

Any computer or network system could lose information due to technical failure, crushing, physical damage, or accidental erasure. It is very costly for companies to lose their valuable information. Businesses have suffered losses due to loss of information. Recovering lost information from servers and computer networks help businesses get back in track.

Loss of information can lead to financial losses and tainted image, something that could cripple the growth of the entity. The recovery of information from the drives, disks, and servers helps the business restore back to its previous state. Businesses could easily be ruined by the way they handle information. If information stored in the drives and servers is lost, the businesses may be subjected to legal suits due to breach of the law.

There are different data array storage types in the market and an expert restoration technician examines the kind of storage media and how best the information can be extracted and restored. The expert has to examine the array size, the operating system, and system platform being applied. The configuration that have been made and the nature of information loss are also examined.

When they determine the array, the technicians also recommend the best restoration techniques based on the kind of damage and the storage device parts affected. Other things that technicians look at are the array size, the kind of operating system and platform being applied, the configurations that have been done and the kind of failure.

In addition, use of multiple disks increase the mean time between failure, or what is known as MTBF. This implies that the information in the disks cannot be lost easily. In addition, the storage of information redundantly and in multiple places creates fault tolerance in the servers and drives. Some of the problems you may experience in these systems include loss of configurations, controller failures, and accidental configuration of data that was not meant to be configured.

Common problems in redundant array of inexpensive disks or RAID storage systems are controller failure, loss of configurations, and accidental configuration of information that does not need to be configured. Other problems include re-initializing of an array, failure of multiple drives or storage media where the information is stored and missing partitions. Moreover, reformatted partitions and virus damage may also cause failure of the storage systems.

Although there are standalone tools you can use to rescue information, you need to have the knowledge on how to extract, backup information, and operate the system. The diagnosis process helps determine if a failure of a system is caused by corruption of the drives and server storage media or a physical damage on the RAID array system. Sometimes, a failure can be caused by both logical corruption and physical damage. Depending on the kind of failure, the RAID data recovery technicians use state-of-the-art rescue tools to get back the information.
