If you don't believe that time is money, just ask any administrator whose Unix server has gone down.  That's why SalvageData offers a special priority Data Recovery Service specifically for Novell Sun Solaris, AIX, HP-UX and all configurations of Alpha servers. Our recovery solutions work for the most basic single disk to the most complicated multi-disk SCSI RAID configurations, which makes our data-recovery specialists the professional you should call.

Our proprietary data-recovery tools, designed specifically for these platforms, has bolstered our credibility among system administrators. They have learned to trust our expertise because we are equipped to solve the most complex and challenging data-recovery problems for most Unix platforms.

UNIX Platform Commitment:
The in-depth knowledge base and the research our Unix recovery specialists have at their fingertips, makes SalvageData stand out from the rest. Our commitment to R&D has resulted in the development of our own Unix-based tools, which enables us to sustain the highest recovery success rate for most Unix platforms.

Our Unix recovery methods meet warranty requirements of hardware manufactured by SUN, IBM and HP. We stand behind the integrity of recovered electronic data, and we will bend over backwards to ensure that your system is completely restored!

Steps to take if your Unix Server base system fails:
Here are some simple steps to follow when a hard drive crashes:

1. If your hard drive is making a clicking or buzzing sound - or any type of strange sounds-immediately shutdown and power off your system.  By powering off, you avoid causing more damage to the drive or data. This is one time when simply rebooting is a major no-no.  If  the problem is a physical failure, simple rebooting can destroy your chances of recovery! 
   
   
2. Unix file systems and disk configuration are so complex, your should never try to correct the problem yourself. By trying to fix it yourself by opening or operating on a hard drive or RAID system is a mistake. Without the proper knowledge or tools, you could exacerbate the problem - making data recovery more difficult and costly.  
   
   
3. Please do not be temped to use any off-the-shelf, do-it-your-self data recovery software for Unix. By doing so, you could blow the one chance you have to recover your data! Again, the inherent risk of looking for an easy fix in such programs makes taking such a chance pure folly. 
   
   
4. Instead, place a call to one of our professionals! Our Unix data-recovery service specialists will quickly evaluate your problem and tell you how to ship the drive)s to our lab. In most cases, we are able to recover data from most failures within 24 to 72 hours - depending upon the severity of the damage and the priority level you have chosen!

 

Data Recovery Tip

#8: Do not attempt to solve the problem yourself when your hard drive is making any unusual noise. Running any utilities will make the situation worse.
