NAS Failures and Recovery
There are many NAS data storage brands out there in the market. Manufacturers constantly compete to offer new features and functionalities. Generally, all these devices come with standard network attack storage (NAS) features, including some proprietary storage functionalities. But sometimes, your NAS device fails suddenly, and you don’t have a backup copy of your essential data. In such situations, our engineers work around the clock to quickly recover your data from the failed NAS file server.
NAS Hardware Failure
- Failed Disk Drives
- Overheated Cooling System
- Failed Network Interface
- Malfunctioning Power Supply
NAS Software Failure
- Firmware Issues
- Configuration Errors
- Operating System Corruption
- RAID Configuration Errors
User-Related NAS Failures
- Accidental Deletion
- Misconfiguration
- Mishandling
- Physical Damage
Security & Backup Failures on NAS
- Ransomware Attacks
- Unauthorized Access
- Inadequate Backup
- Failed Recovery Attempts
Whether dealing with a disk drive failure, NAS operating system corruption, or accidental deletion of crucial files, our team utilizes advanced recovery methods and tools to recover your data from a NAS enclosure. For example, in case of disk drive failures, we use sector-by-sector imaging to recover data from functional parts of the disk. Regarding software-related problems like corrupted RAID configurations, our specialists virtually reconstruct the RAID for data access.
What to Do When NAS Device Fails
Suppose you observe failure symptoms, like missing files or a decrease in copying speed on your NAS device. In that case, it is advisable to investigate the management interface for any failure notifications or errors. Follow proper shutdown procedures for a NAS system upon encountering any warning signs or errors to prevent potential data loss or system issues in the future.
PITS Global Data Recovery Services specializes in RAID/NAS device restoration and recovery. Throughout the years, we’ve gained experience and regularly attend training to stay on the forefront of data recovery.
NAS Recovery for Top Manufacturers
NAS devices use multiple hard drives or SSD drives to provide fast data transfer speed and data redundancy. Additionally, based on the count of hard drives installed, you can customize various RAID configurations in the admin panel of your NAS device. Although these devices have so many advantages, they still can fail. There are many scenarios when these devices stop functioning, and the data stored in them becomes inaccessible regardless of their brands. This is where our NAS data recovery services come into play. We can recover any kind of NAS enclosure regardless of its brand or manufacturer.
The internal hard drives used in NAS devices wear out over time, causing potential data loss and NAS network failure. Also, NAS devices use a RAID controller as their internal component to manage speed and redundancy. The failure of these controllers means corrupted and lost data. Most commonly, at least one (or more) of these RAID disks fail. When multiple RAID disks go wrong in a NAS device, any RAID recovery becomes much more dangerous. This is why you should choose a data recovery company carefully and responsibly.
