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 type of damage can you help with?

We can help retrieve data from devices affected by water damage, fire damage, heat damage, and lightning strike and power surges, as well as those that have been dropped. If you're not sure if we can help, get in touch!

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.

Does destroying a hard drive with a hammer make it unrecoverable?

We've seen videos of do-it-yourself data destruction with nail guns, hammers, and automobiles. And while these methods physically destroy devices, they don't provide a verifiable, certified method to ensure data is inaccessible and unrecoverable. Destroying a hard drive with a hammer might render it inoperable, but because Ontrack engineers are known for their miraculous data recovery rescues (including a hard drive from the crashed Space Shuttle), anything is possible.

Experiences that matter

Ontrack has extensive experience with all types of data loss scenarios. Our goal is to provide our customers with peace of mind in the event of data loss due to hardware failure, human error, natural disasters or cyberattacks.
