Restoring data from raid 1
Restoring data from RAID 1 can be a fairly simple process if one of the disks in the array has failed. If one drive fails, the data is still available on the other working drive.
However, there are several steps and recommendations for successful data recovery:
1. Check the condition of the hardware: make sure that the equipment (cables, controller) is working properly.
2. Replace the damaged hard disk: buy a new hard disk of the same size or larger and replace the non-working one with it.
3. Use the RAID controller software or BIOS/UEFI to restart the array after replacing the damaged HDD.
4. Wait for the rebuilding process to complete (automatic activation is possible).
5. When errors occur, check the system logs or use specialized tools for monitoring the structure of the file system
6. If these methods did not help to return the data, you can ask for the services of rescue services
Pay attention:
– It is important not to format or overwrite the data on the damaged disk in order to preserve the possibility of recovery.
– Regular data backup will help to avoid data loss in case of RAID 1 failure.
