THE RAID RECOVERY PROCESS

 


Contact ReWave toll-free at 866-739-2835 or submit a free quote form for RAID recovery.  We are available 24/7 to meet your RAID recovery needs.
 

 

 

 


A data recovery technician will immediately assist you with a free quote for
recovery and instructions on how to receive a free evaluation to determine the
cause of RAID failure and cost for recovery.  You can bring your RAID to one of our
data recovery labs or you can ship your RAID
using our shipping instructions.
 

 

 

 


Upon receipt a RAID engineer will perform a free evaluation of the array
(which normally takes anywhere from 1 - 24 hours.)  You will be contacted with the
results and given the choice to move forward with the recovery.  The actual recovery
process will then begin.
 

 
   

RAID LEVELS WE SUPPORT

 


ReWave uses sophisticated recovery tools & proprietary software that allows us to
recover data from all levels of RAID (redundant array of independent disks).  Listed
below are some of the most common RAID levels we support.

 

ReWave also supports a non-RAID collection of drives called spanning.   Spanning
is also referred to as JBOD (just a bunch of disks).  Spanning allows drives of the
same or different sizes to be seen as a single volume without wasting drive space.
This method essentially fills up the space on one drive, continues writing data to the
next drive, and so on.  Since it is not a RAID level, it does not benefit from any type
of fault tolerance RAID provides nor does it offer any improvements in performance.
In the event of a drive failure, the data is lost only on that particular drive.  Spanning
is currently used in external hard drives, servers, network attached storage units
(NAS), and snap servers.

 

 
   

WHAT IS RAID?

 


The term RAID represents "Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks".  RAID is
typically used for increased capacity, performance, and reliability.  In terms of
reliability, RAID failure is far more likely than the failure of single disk systems. 
ReWave provides RAID recovery for all levels of RAID.

 

 
   

WHAT CAUSES RAID FAILURE?

 


There can be many reasons for RAID failure.  Hardware failure is the most common
reason and usually results from disk or controller problems.  Abrupt power failure is
another reason for RAID failure, because it can disrupt logical volumes and destroy
the RAID file structure in place. Regardless of  the reason for RAID failure, it is
important that you allow a trained RAID recovery technician to recover your RAID.
Permanent data corruption in the array can occur if the wrong steps are taken. 
 

 
   

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE A FAILED RAID:

 


If you experience problems with your RAID array, please do not attempt to correct
the problem yourself.   By taking matters into your own hands, you could overwrite
parity data making RAID recovery more difficult.  Please follow the steps below and
contact ReWave for assistance at
866-739-2835.


1


 


Turn off your RAID array server immediately
to ensure that no additional
data can be written to the array, which can overwrite the data you are trying to
recover from the array.. 

 

2






 

Document the events that occurred causing RAID failure.  Make notes of
problems that occurred and the efforts made to solve these problems.  If you
remove the drives from the array, it is important to label the drives the same
order in which they existed in the array.  This will save our recovery team time
when piecing the array back together to recover the data.
