Retrodata RAID Recovery

Cisco NSS recovery.
By professional engineers.

We recover corrupt and lost data from all Cisco NSS storage. If your hard drive has failed (red LED light) or a RAID rebuild failed – even if a firmware update failed and you cannot access the drive – our engineers are standing by to help. They are able to retrieve data from almost any kind of data crash or failure.

With some of the best RAID recovery skills in the industry, our engineers have successfully recovered data from many systems that other companies have said cannot be done. Recovering Cisco drives is something they do quickly and efficiently. If you have business data stored on the drive, and staff are unable to work without it, we can usually provide a same-day recovery service.

But before the recovery even starts, further data loss has to be prevented, so each drive is securely backed up. Then if a mistake is made, or another drive fails during the recovery procedure, the backups will be the insurance policy.

Recovering data from Cisco NSS2000, NSS3000, NSS4000 and NSS6000 can require knowledge of file systems from Apple HFS+ to Microsoft NTFS, Linux Ext2, Ext3, Ext4 and XFS and ZFS, all RAID levels from RAID 0, RAID 5 to RAID 6, nested and proprietary RAID arrays as well as all operating systems.

RAID Levels RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 to RAID 30, RAID 50, RAID 60, RAID 10

File systems: NTFS, HFS+, Ext3, Ext4, ZFS, XFS, UFS

Operating systems: Windows, Apple Mac OS, Linux, UNIX, Novell and proprietary systems
