RAID Data Recovery - Unerase Software!

You may not be aware of raid data recovery unerase software, however there are a few hard drive data recovery tools available that will recover lost data from RAID arrays, provided the problem with your drives is not an internal physical fault. RAID hard drive recovery software can actually restore your system data without the need to send away your drives.

Recovery software programs vary in their capabilities but can retrieve and unerase data from corrupted files after accidentally formatting (F-disking), accidentally deleting of files and partitions, software failures and viruses if your system is not recognizing your hard drive or logical failures. They can also be used for forensic use to recover deleted data or files in fraud cases.

A wise move for any business that use RAID servers is to have a business continuity planning strategy in place so when a disaster does strike you know the exact steps to take to ensure minimum loss of data, loss of productivity time and costs.

The main purpose of the RAID array is to increase the data storage volume and reliability while at the same time increasing the speed of input/output performance of the hardware however, problems still occur.

Understanding RAID

RAID is an acronym for Redundant Array of Independent Drives and is also known as Redundant Array of Inexpensive Drives. A non technical description for RAID is simply a computer data storage system that divides and duplicates data amongst multiple hard disk storage drives. As suggested in the second acronym of RAID the computer hard drive system can be made up of a combination of low cost hard drives that are arranged and linked together and operate as one complete system with the aid of software.

Over the last few years various types of design and layout of RAID arrays have been implemented in the industry, known as schemes or more commonly, levels. When RAID systems first came out there was five standard levels but over the last few years many variations have been used, most sharing parity information across multiple drives.

The most common levels used are RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 3, RAID 4, RAID 5 (RAID5 probably being the most popular), RAID 6 and RAID 10 in each of these standard main levels there are also many nested levels. A disk array controller manages the physical disk drives and presents them to the computer as logical units. Always ensure the RAID data recovery unerase software you are using is suitable for your operating system.

Drive failures - general

If you suspect a problem with a hard drive and can no longer access your operating system or the hard drive cannot be seen in the bios, power down your computer until you speak with a data recovery specialist. This is very important and if you ignore this first step then the data that you write to your disk may over write the data that you intend to recover. However confident you are that it is not a physical drive problem it is always wise to consult a hard disk data recovery expert for your own peace of mind. Recovery experts deal with failed drive problems every day of the week and have superior knowledge and experience when dealing with or concerning hard drive failures.

Hard drive data recovery tools

Whenever software is used in the retrieval of data or erased files, it is essential that the instructions are followed in detail. Data is lost very easily and if you have any doubts or problems, you must then contact the data recovery service that supplied the software and if possible, speak with the program developer or phone their help line as problems will occur if the correct procedures are not followed. Specialist recovery software will only work if it is used as instructed.

When you compare hard drive data recovery tools, look to see if the program has been given awards or has been reviewed by authority web sites or users, or look for customer testimonials.Be sure to check the compatibility of the software and the operating system be it Microsoft Windows or Linux. Some recovery utilities are available as freeware but can be very limited in there capabilities. If a recovery company is selling their own brand of software, they may also repair physical drive problems and may have their own recovery experts that have experience in all aspects of crash recovery.

You or the technician carrying out the harddrive recovery should have a reasonable knowledge of computer systems and terminology. A good recovery program should have a straight forward easy to use step by step operating interface and easy to follow instructions, and a contact email or phone number in case there are any problem while running the software
