RAID Tape Recovery from HDRG

In the world of corporate data recovery, without a doubt, the backup is a tech’s best friend. Corporate RAID servers, typically used for high end network and database applications, are typically equipped with RAID tape backups, which, when combined with the redundant nature of RAID servers, make these systems almost invulnerable to data loss.

But is RAID tape recovery unheard of? As specialists in RAID tape data recovery, we would have to say no. Each day, we receive queries from companies with data loss, many of whom have functional RAID backup tape setups from trusted manufacturers like IBM, Travan, Ultrium LTO and others. Problems range from dirty tapes or tape heads, malfunctioning drives, all the way up to fire or water damage. When your backup solution fails, it can seem like there is no way out of a bad situation. Hard Drive Recovery Group, with years of RAID tape recovery experience, can help.

Typical RAID Tape Malfunctions

RAID tapes typically require recovery when they are experiencing actual mechanical problems. One example is when the tape drive partially unloads its data, then partially reloads and then ejects. Typically, this can either mean a malfunctioning RAID tape with corruption of the information on the tape, or perhaps within the tape drive itself. Dirt and other particles can get in the way of a proper read, which can render RAID backup tapes all but useless.

Another example might be what seems like a “hanging” restore process, where the RAID restoration process gets to a certain point, and then ceases to work. This is usually a recording problem with the tape itself, which can cause the drive to crash. Turning off the drive and then turning it on will allow you to eject the tape, but it’s likely you may have to use a different one going forward.
