Data recovery

Kroll Ontrack has released a technology to recover data from NetApp storage systems. Offering support for both hardware and software failures, Ontrack Data Recovery offers NetApp users a viable option to address data loss for the Data ONTAP platform.

NetApp ONTAP provides users with Snapshot technology that creates automated, point-in-time backups. If snapshots are purged from the storage system before the creation of a more permanent backup, data loss can occur.

This latest technology allows these snapshots, which are no longer available to the NetApp storage system, to be recovered.

The system allows users to turn back the clock on a NetApp FAS system and restore the data to its last Snapshot state. These capabilities are valuable when there are gaps between snapshots and backups, including recovering data that was deleted before the backup occurred.

The company also offers a hardware solution beyond NetApp’s RAID-DP safeguard. While RAID-DP allows for the failure of two disks in a system, Ontrack provides an additional layer of protection when more than two drives fail and before a rebuild occurs.
