HELP!  Recover lost array from X serve with windows server

We have an Xserve raid with two 7 drive arrays mounted as one drive on a windows sever 2003. We lost one array and the second array started rebuilding when disk was reinserted. The disks in the first now show as "spare" and the Windows equivalent disk number now shows as "missing" and failed. However disk 0 which is array #2 shows online but failed. The question is--- Do we have any data left on the second array since it rebuilt? Do we try to rebuild the first array hoping Windows will "find" the missing drive? Can we restore the array somehow since retore in disk utility is greyed out? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

This sounds like you're using RAID 50 (lots of people use it not knowing how easy it is to lose all your data in an instant). You said 'we lost one array' - if that's true, then it's time to nuke and pave - you won't get any of your data back.

  • How to recover lost contacts from address book with isync.

    Hi everyone,
    I've just lost all my contacts even in my Nokia N95 when I use iSync. I've deleted my contacts manually in my address book to make a refresh sync with my Nokia. After I conected again and start sync, it deleted all my contacts on my Nokia... I am very dissapointed and angry with Apple.
    Can you guys help me bring back my 500 contacts in my address book so I can put back in my Nokia as well?
    Thank you in advance.
    Matt

    Not to my knowledge.  As I see it you now are in a position of manually recreating you contact list or as I previously suggested engage a professional in data recovery with no guarantee of 100% or any recovery.
    I wish it were otherwise.

    lost contacts from address book with update to OSX 9.3  How do I get them out of cloud back into address book?

    When you log into iCloud with your browser, do you see your contacts online?

    You might need to run the combo installer.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 (Update (Combo)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1746
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

  • How to recover lost files from ipad on mac

    I have stored many videos, contacts, notes, music files and more on my ipad. Unfortunately, I lost my some files on it owing to my wrong operation. Now I am
    looking for the ways how to get them back quickly, but it is failed. If you are familiar with this problem, please continue reading to give me some clues about how to recover these lost files from iPad on Mac computer? 100 coins will be added!

    Firstly, you can rely on iCloud or iTunes to recovery iPad data, such as recover deleted text messages, photos, notes, restore iPhone contacts, after all, it is free. 
    1. Connect your iPad with iTune on computer 
    2. Right-click or control-click on the iPad icon under iDevice on iTunes 
    3. Select "Restore from Backup" from the given options 
    4. After it finishs, your contacts are back to your iPhone 
    Important Note: This works only if you have made a backup for your data on iTunes. 
    In case that the iCloud or iTunes cannot help to make a iPad Data Recovery, you can turn to a third party tool.

  • Recovering lost data from a very old backup (disaster recovery)

    Hi all,
    I am trying to restore and recover data from an old DAT-72 cassette. All I know is the date when the backup was taken, that is back in November 2006. I do not know the DBID or anything else except for the date.
    To recover this, I bought an internal SCSI HP c7438a DAT-72 tape drive on eBay and installed it on a machine running Windows 2003 Server SP2. I made a fresh Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition installation. HP tape drivers have been installed and Windows sees the tape drive without problem. To act as a Media Manager, I have installed Oracle Secure Backup. Oracle Secure Backup sees the HP tape drive without problems as well.
    I have to admit my information about Oracle is not very in-depth. I read quite a lot of documents, but the more I read the more confused I become. The closest thing I can find to my situation is the following guide about disaster recovery:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10500_01/server.920/a96566/rcmrecov.htm#1007948
    I tried the suggestions in this document without success (details below).
    My questions are:
    1. Is it possible to retrieve data without knowing the DBID?
    2. If not, is it possible to figure out the DBID from the tape? I tried to use dd in cygwin, also booted with Knoppix/Debian and Ubuntu CDs to dump the contents of the tape with dd but all of them failed to see the tape device. If there is any way to dump the raw contents of the tape on Windows, I would also welcome input.
    3. Is there any way at all to recover this data from the tape given all the unknowns?
    Thanks very much in advance,

    Hi 845725,
    If the backups were created with OSB might be you can query the tape with obtool.
    http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10gR2/backup.102/b14236/obref_oba.htmTo list pieces you could use <lspiece> within obtool.
    http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10gR2/backup.102/b14236/obref_oba.htm#BHBBIFFEIf this works you should be able to identify the controlfile autobackup if it has the standard naming < c-dbid-date-xx > and you than know the DBID or you are able to restore a controlfile from a backup piece in the output list.
    Might be you have to install 9i or 10g rdbms software as 11g was released a year later in 2007.
    Anyway goodluck.
    Regards,
    Tycho

  • Using Data Rescue II to recover lost files from corrupt hard drive!!!

    OK I am terribly confused. I found out my MacBook Pro hard drive is corrupt and I can't even start up my computer. I was told to get Data Rescue II, another Mac, and an external hard drive.
    I have all of the above but have no idea how to make it work!! How do I access the corrupt HD on the current iMac I am using with Data Rescue and then transfer the found files to the external HD??? Please I need help asap!!

    First, if you have an external drive, then install OS X on the external drive. Boot from the external drive, install Data Rescue, then run Data Rescue and see if you are able to recover any files from the bad drive.
    You boot from the external drive by restarting the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the external drive then click on the down arrow button.
    If you do not have an external drive then you can try connecting the two computers with a FireWire cable and booting the computer with the bad drive into Target Disk Mode. Boot the good computer normally. Install Data Rescue and run it to see if you can recover anything from the bad drive. My guess is this method will not likely work, but one never knows without trying.
    BTW, have you tried the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • How can I recover lost photos from a restore on an iPod touch 4g

    Ok so I have an iPod touch 4g that I had not used for about 2 months as I have been travelling. When I tried to use it I realised that I had forgotten my passcode and as I sold the laptop that I used to use to sync my iPod to just before I went travelling I have no back ups of data and I couldn't unlock my iPod. So in the end I decided I had to restore the iPod using my sisters laptop so that I could use it again as I didnt know the passcode. However my problem is that I had lots of photos stored on my iPod that were special to me and my family, is there any way that I can retrieve these photos?
    If anyone can help I would be very grateful
    thanks

  • Can i recover lost notes from an old time machine back up?

    I found this doom and gloom advice, but isn't there a way to go to an old back up on my time machine and find the file?

    Re: lost notes     Oct 1, 2009 8:59 PM    (in response to Sybil Clanton) 
    Where did you synch them to? If you synced then TO your Mac, you can get them back:
    iTunes > Devices > your phone > Info > Notes (check sync notes), Advanced - Replace Info on this iPhone - check Notes. If you had "Replace" checked when you did your last synch, the notes were replaced by whatever had previously been synched to your Mac (nothing?) and are unfortunately permanently lost.

    Thank you for your response! I read that their is a product called Wondershare that will recover contacts directly from the phone and that the data is still in there somewhere. This program is $80 and before I purchase, I just want to make sure it will actually recover those contacts.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks!

    You can only recover notes from a backup.
    Restore from a backup - if the notes that you want to recover are in your last backup. When you restore from a backup, you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad.

  • Recovering lost photos from delete icloud backup

    Hi is there a way to recover the photos from a deleted icloud backup? I know once on the Internet it is there forever.

    Unfortunantly there are no other backups...
    I am hesitant to connect the new phone up as I find that whole line of questioning that iTunes does confusing.
    I am never sure what it will do to 'sync' the old data with the new phone....
    I think I'll just try the free utilities....

    I an trying to recover lost music that was in my I tunes library.
    I now have more music on my I pod nano and want to sync this collection back to the I tunes library. Is this possiable ?
    If not, can anyone give me a hint, other than the ones on the I tunes tutorial ( none of these have worked ) how I can get my music back

    Yes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
    Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
    I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
    Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
    Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
    Good Luck
