According to the manager of the resort, the server contained every single record of their operations since the day that they opened – property management, reservations, accounting, reporting and revenue, payroll – everything. After allowing a local IT provider to work on the server for 8 hours, they referred the job to Ontrack Data Recovery.
By that stage, the resort's server had been out of operation for a full day and they were starting to run out of time. There wasn’t enough time to wait for couriers so the hard drives were put on a plane with a staff member and flown
to the nearest Ontrack location.
