UNIX Data Recovery
UNIX systems still run critical workloads in finance, telecoms, manufacturing and the public sector, often on hardware that has been in service for many years. When these systems fail, replacement parts are scarce and the knowledge needed to recover them is specialised.
We recover data from commercial UNIX and BSD systems and their storage arrays.
UNIX Systems We Recover
| Platform | Details |
|---|---|
| Oracle Solaris / SunOS | SPARC and x86, UFS and ZFS, Solaris Volume Manager, Sun/Oracle storage arrays. |
| IBM AIX | Power Systems with JFS and JFS2, LVM volume groups. |
| HP-UX | Integrity and PA-RISC servers with VxFS (Veritas) and HFS. |
| BSD | FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD with UFS/UFS2 and ZFS; TrueNAS CORE and pfSense/OPNsense appliances. |
| Other | SCO OpenServer and UnixWare, Tru64, IRIX, and Veritas Volume Manager. |
Common UNIX Failures
- Failed disks in mirrored or RAID volume groups
- Corrupted superblocks or inode tables
- ZFS pools reporting FAULTED or UNAVAIL
- Ageing SCSI and SAS drives failing mechanically
- Accidental deletion or overwriting of application data
