Retrodata RAID Recovery

If you cannot access your D-Link because of a failed firmware update, a hard drive failed (red or amber LED), or a RAID rebuild failed when you had to swap a RAID disk, our engineers will be able to advise you what to do next.

If you have attempted recovery and failed, please stop now. It is crucial that your disks are securely backed up before any further attempts are made; DIY data recovery causes more total data loss than any other reason we encounter.

If you have an enterprise-level device (or SAN) with multiple drives and a RAID level migration failed, or volume migration or expansion has not worked, you need specialist RAID data recovery engineers. Our engineers are able to recover D-Link data from almost any failure.

Hard drive failed – red or orange LED

 

Firmware upgrade failure

RAID rebuild failure

 

Degraded RAID volume

Accidental re-format

 

Re-synch failed

RAID level migration failure

 

Cannot access volume or share

It does not matter what operating system you are using; Windows, Apple Mac OS, Linux, Solaris – our engineers are experienced in all of them. They also recover data from any file system, including Microsoft NTFS, Apple HFS+, Linux Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, and UNIX UFS. Higher-end D-link RAID storage often makes use of the XFS or ZFS file systems. We work with them all, and XFS RAID recovery and ZFS recovery are specialist skills of our engineers.

Emergency D-Link Recovery We’re usually able to regenerate and rebuild your RAID and start recovering and extracting your data within one hour, once we’ve made secure copies of all the drives.




Corrupted RAID or file system corruption, RAID failure – these are all serious issues that could result in total data loss. That’s why, before any data recovery ever takes place, we make backup copies of all the drives in the NAS.
