Data Recovery

When faced with a disaster such as a fire or flood, the last thing you need is more complications in restoring your vaulable data. In this particular instance Altirium received a tape that had survived a building fire but unfortunately problems with the backup prevented the data from being restored.

Hard disks are electro-mechanical precision devices that do not take kindly to being immersed in water. If the water in question is from an overflowing river then the contaminants within the water make the situation even worse.

After 3 days under water you might think that all would be lost.

Backing up and managing the large amounts of data stored on mid-range and mainframe computers are ususally managed by rigid policy driven applications. When an incorrect date in a policy caused a set of tapes expire from the systems there was no way back. Altirium data recovery skills were required recover the lost data.
