Data loss scenarios on SCSI drives

Generally, SCSI drives are used in RAID controllers, servers and other high-performance computers because of their durability and reliability. Data loss may occur in SCSI drives due to the reasons listed below:

Damaged boot record: The Boot record may get damaged, corrupt or may sometimes go missing while installing the operating system. Data may be lost from these drives due to lost / corrupt boot partition

Bad sectors: Aged SCSI hard drive is prone to bad sectors, which results in data loss

Third party utility: Accidentally formatting / reformatting / re-partitioning the SCSI hard drive with unfamiliar third party utilities may lead to data loss

Power failure: When the power fails during the data transfer in SCSI drives, you may encounter “SCSI transport failed” error and result in data loss

Improper shut down: Improper system shut down may cause corruption of system files leading to SCSI hard drive crash

Improper hot swapping: SCSI drive provides the facility of hot swapping the drives to eject or plug-in drives in the server. Improper or abusive usage of hot swapping function may cause file system corruptions

How to Retrieve SCSI Drive?

Step 1: Configure your SCSI drive on another workstation / computer, this will help in avoiding any overwriting of deleted / lost data if the SCSI drive is a booting drive and has operating system installed

Step 2: Download and install Remo Recover (Windows) on the computer where you have attached the SCSI drive as secondary

Step 3: Launch the application by double-clicking the shortcut on the desktop or using the Start Menu

Step 4: Select the “Recover   Partitions / drives” option from the main screen, as shown in Figure 1.

Step 5: Select

1. “Partition Recovery” option to recover deleted / lost partition from SCSI drive as shown in Figure 2
2. “Formatted / Reformatted Recovery” option to recover data from formatted / re-formatted SCSI drive as shown in Figure 2

Step 6:  After selecting either of the option

1. Select the physical drive from which lost partition needs to be recovered, and click on “Next” to as shown in Figure 3
2. Select the logical drive from which you need to recover the data and click on “Next “as shown in Figure 3

Step 7: Once you click on “Next”, the scanning process starts as shown in Figure 4

Step 8: Once the scanning process is finished,

1. A list of found partitions / drives will be displayed as shown in Figure 5
1. Select the appropriate drives / partitions from the ones that are displayed in the drive list and click on “Next”
2. You can perform an additional search for files based on their unique signatures to select the appropriate file types. You may skip this process to continue with normal deep scanning as shown in Figure 6
3. You can view the recovered data using “File Type View" / "Data View" option as shown in Figure 7
2. Displays the recovered data in “Data View” or “File Type View” options as shown in figure 5

Step 9: “Preview” option allows you to view the recovered data as shown in Figure 8

Step 10: You can save the scanned information using the “Save Recovery Session” option. This saved scan information can be used to resume the saving process at anytime without re-scanning the SCSI drive as shown in Figure 9

Step 11: You can purchase the software, if you are satisfied with the recovery results

Step 12: Later, you can activate the software and using the “Open Recovery Session” option, you can load previously saved scanned information and continue with the saving process

Note: Do not download / install Remo Recover on the SCSI drive, which contains the deleted / lost data. Any saving / writing process may overwrite the lost / deleted data causing permanent data loss.
