RAID Data Recovery

RAID data recovery, raid recovery by Excalibur Data RecoveryAt Excalibur Data Recovery, our experienced technical staff is versed in RAID data recovery. Our recovery equipment allows us to service even the most current of large array systems created today.

In order for us to attempt a successful data recovery on any RAID array, all drives from the original failed array MUST be supplied. The controller card is not necessary but highly recommended. We also ask that before the drives are pulled from the container and drive bays that they be NUMBERED. Losing track of the drive configuration can complicate the data recovery effort and extend turnaround time of the evaluation!

PLATFORMS SUPPORTED

AIX
 Banyan Vines
 BSD
 Exchange
 HPUX
 Linux
 Novell
 SQL
 Sun Solaris
 Unix
 Windows NT / 2000

To help protect the data on the failed RAID array, an image or clone of each drive is created and copied to a new device. These Bit-By-Bit images are then "de-RAIDED" to our server creating a Virtual Array. After the Virtual Array has been produced, the assigned technicians will then begin the evaluation process. Just like all other data recoveries, when the evaluation is completed a final report/data recovery quote is sent to the client for approval. Only after the authorization has been given, will the data be recovered and extracted to new media.

Supported levels of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disk):
RAID 0
