RAID Recovery Explained
- by Elfin Ruler
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks) systems are prone to several kinds of problems such as loss of registry configurations, parity damage, controller failure, unintentional reconfigurations of RAID array and more. Because of their built-in factor of redundancy, many of the RAID systems can continue to function even after one or more hard drive failure. Though the performance gets affected, but the lost information can be regenerated. The two prime factors that govern data loss and RAID Data Recovery while hard drive failure are RAID level in use and number of hard drives failed.
While a single hard drive failure, nothing gets affected except the performance of the system that goes in degraded mode. Until the failed hard drive is replaced and data is rebuilt by the controller, the odds of next hard drive failure that can disable the RAID system are very high. Typical type of RAID failure instances that are observed and can cause complete data loss are mentioned below:
Power surges can affect the RAID controller and various other disk elements and consequently can cause complete data loss. In some cases, power surges can also corrupt RAID configuration settings of NVRAM that is done on controller cardWhile you replace the failed hard drive in order to rebuild the failed RAID volume, procedures carried out are required to be careful. Any incorrect step can bring unexpected consequences of total system failure. Logical instances like operating system crash, virus infection, system corruption and others can also fail a RAID volume. The fault tolerance of RAID arrays only provide protection against physical failures and not logical.
Data Recovery Services for RAID arrays is quite indifferent from normal recovery procedures carried out in other data loss cases. When recovery is on the line, the experts follow up several standard and uncommon techniques based on RAID array. For an instance, to recover data from RAID 0 array, experts need to ensure that all the drives are completely functional. If any of the drive is found to be non-functional, it is repaired in Clean Rooms.
