THE
RAID RECOVERY PROCESS |
|
1) |
Contact ReWave toll-free at 866-739-2835, via
email, or |
|
|
submit a free quote form
for RAID recovery. We are |
|
|
available 24 hours
per day, seven days per week. |
|
|
|
|
2) |
A
data recovery technician will immediately assist you
|
|
|
with a free price quote for recovery and instructions |
|
|
on
how to receive a free evaluation to determine the |
|
|
cause of RAID failure. You can bring your RAID to our |
|
|
data recovery lab (click
here for directions), or you can |
|
|
ship your RAID
using our shipping instructions. |
|
|
|
|
3) |
Upon receipt of your array, a data recovery technician |
|
|
will perform the free evaluation. You will be
contacted |
|
|
with the results and given the choice to move forward
|
|
|
with the recovery. The actual recovery process will
then |
|
|
begin and
could take as little as 24 hours. |

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.

RAID 0 Data Recovery |
RAID 5 Data
Recovery |
RAID 10 Data
Recovery |
|
RAID 1 Data

RAID 0+1 Data

RAID 50 Data

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
that 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".
A RAID is typically used
for increased capacity, performance, and reliability. In
terms of reliability, RAID failure is far
more likely than the failure of simple single disk systems.
ReWave provides RAID recovery
for all levels of RAID.
|
|
WHAT CAUSES RAID FAILURE? |
|
|
There can be many reasons for a 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. Click here to read about specific
causes of RAID failure.

WHAT
TO DO IF YOU EXPERIENCE A RAID FAILURE |
|
|
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.
STEP 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. |
| |
|
STEP 2
|
Document the series of events that occurred causing RAID
failure. Make a
note of any problems that occurred and the
efforts made to solve the problems.
If you remove the drives from the array, it is important to label the drives with the
same order in which
they existed in the array.
This will save our data recovery team time when piecing the
array back together to recover the data. |
| |
|
|
STEP 3 |
Contact ReWave immediately at 866-739-2835. Our data recovery
team is available 24/7
to assist
you with RAID recovery. |
