NAS Technology and Data Recovery

What are the challenges?

Modern NAS devices offer users a wide array of features and technology at an affordable price. The challenge from a data recovery perspective is that as more and more features are added to a device, the complexity of work required to recover the data if something goes wrong often increases as well. In many cases, a user might utilize a function available on a NAS without fully understanding how that technology impacts the data ultimately stored on the drives.

Ontrack has invested hundreds of hours of development time to ensure we stay ahead of the game and can recover data from even the most complex NAS systems.

Emergency Tips

What to do if you experience a NAS drive failure?

  • If you hear unusual noises, you should shut down the system immediately
  • Validate your backup before replacing or updating hardware or software
  • Do not use RAID recovery software if there is a possibility of a hardware failure
  • Do not defrag possibly damaged drives
  • Do not rebuild and/or reinstall the original system
  • Do not restore a backup to the same volume / drives
  • Call Ontrack to find the fastest solution for your NAS recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do backup files become damaged or corrupted?

Backup files can become corrupt in a number of ways:
  • Large backup files may become damaged while copying to other devices
  • Backups were accidentally or intentionally deleted
  • Files may be damaged during encryption

What is data destruction?

Erasure software is used before the drives are transported to equipment for physical destruction to eliminate the possibility of data being intercepted during transport. Physical destruction on hard disk drives can be done with a degausser that uses a powerful magnetic field, which erases not only the data but removes the servo tracks, making the media unusable. The most permanent and final destruction solution involves the use of granulators, also known as shredders. These machines rip, tear, or smash a hard drive or SSD into pieces so small that data cannot be recovered from the media or memory chips.

Can you recover data from a shredded hard drive or SSD?

If best practices are followed during data destruction, there is no way to recover data from a shredded hard drive or SSD, especially if data erasure software or a degausser (HDD) was used before shredding. However, if a drive was not erased before shredding and the equipment was not set up to create small enough pieces, a full memory chip might be knocked off an SSD without being destroyed, which can be recovered by a data recovery expert like Ontrack. Improper setup of a shredder/granulator could also lead to an entire disk platter being left intact after a drive is run through shredder set up for a much larger enterprise drive, but such an occurrence would be highly unlikely.

Does data destruction remove windows?

Physical data destruction such as degaussing or shredding will make a hard disk drive or SSD inoperable so that none of the data, software, or other programs on the device will function. Erasure software can be used in such a manner that it erases only specific files, leaving Windows or other operating systems intact when an organization desires to repurpose the asset after wiping the data. The comprehensive approach to drive eraser software will remove all data and programs, including the operating system.

Does degaussing a hard drive make it non-functional?

When degaussing a traditional hard drive, the magnetically coated platters that store data are completely erased. Degaussing involves subjecting a hard drive to a magnetic field, which essentially demagnetizes the platters. The drive is rendered completely inoperable because there are no longer tracks and sectors on the platter which are used to organize and locate data. Degaussing provides permanent removal of data and is recommended as a step in the data sanitization of traditional hard drives, tape, and other magnetic media. After degaussing, devices can be physically destroyed using a special shredder—the process guards against the possibility of any potential for possible data recovery.
