Data recovery on IBM servers

We have a department dedicated to recovering data from IBM Corporation servers

Data recovery on IBM servers is a challenging and crucial task for companies that rely on these robust systems to store critical information. IBM servers, recognised for their reliability and performance, are widely used in large-scale corporate environments. However, hardware failures, cyber attacks, human error or natural disasters can jeopardise stored data. In this context, specialised data recovery services become indispensable.

IBM servers are known for their scalability, security and support for mission-critical operations. Models such as IBM Power Systems and System Z are widely adopted in the financial, healthcare and manufacturing sectors due to their ability to process large volumes of data with high efficiency. However, even with their reliability, no technology is immune to failure, and IBM servers are no exception.

Common Causes of Data Loss on IBM Servers

  • Hardware Failures: Components such as hard drives and RAID controllers can fail, resulting in inaccessible data.
  • Configuration Errors: Improper changes to the server or storage system configuration can lead to data loss.
  • Ransomware Attacks: IBM servers, as well as other systems, are targets of cyber attacks that encrypt data and demand ransoms for release.
  • Natural Disasters: Floods, fires and other events can physically damage servers.
  • Human Error: Accidental deletions or incorrect formatting are common causes of data loss.

Data recovery on IBM servers requires specific technical expertise and state-of-the-art equipment. Rely on Digital Recovery’s experts and recover your data.

Why Digital Recovery?

Digital Recovery has been operating in the data recovery market for over two decades. We specialise in disaster recovery and can recover data from IBM servers.

We have the technology to recover data from highly complex systems, such as RAID systems, storages (NAS, DAS, SAN), databases, virtual machines and more.

Our solutions were developed on the basis of the General Data Protection Act (GDPR) so that we can offer total security and guarantee that our processes are safe.

To further guarantee security, we provide a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), thus placing all information about the process under contractual confidentiality.

We can carry out the recovery remotely, in many cases our experts will be on hand to help with the entire process, from the first contact to the homologation of the recovered data.

Data loss on servers is critical due to the potential for paralysing a company’s entire processes. For this reason, we have developed recovery in emergency mode, in which case our laboratories operate with 24×7 availability.

Answers from our experts

What can cause data loss on IBM servers?

Data loss on IBM servers can occur due to various factors, such as hardware failures, disc corruption, RAID failures, ransomware attacks, human error, power failures, or even poorly performed software updates. In addition, IBM servers are subject to failures in file systems such as AIX and Linux, which are common in these environments.

Is it possible to recover data from IBM servers after RAID failure?

Yes, it is possible to recover data from IBM servers after a RAID failure. Recovery depends on the type of RAID implemented (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, etc.) and the state of the discs. Advanced recovery techniques can rebuild the data even if one or more discs have failed, but it is essential not to try to rebuild the RAID yourself, as this could exacerbate the loss.

How does the data recovery process work on IBM servers infected by ransomware?

Recovering IBM servers infected by ransomware involves an initial analysis to identify the type of ransomware, the extent of the encrypted data and the vulnerabilities exploited. Specialised tools and reverse engineering techniques can then be used to decrypt the data. Companies such as Digital Recovery offer customised data recovery solutions.

Which operating systems supported by IBM servers can be recovered?

IBM servers support various operating systems, such as AIX, Linux and Windows Server, all of which are capable of data recovery. AIX recovery, in particular, requires specific tools, as this system is exclusive to IBM Power Systems servers. Specialised AIX support is crucial for dealing with complex disk structures and logical volumes.

Latest insights from our experts

What you need to know

The main scenarios include:

  • Hardware failure: Damage to hard drives, SSDs or RAID controllers.
  • Human error: Accidental deletion of files or partitions.
  • File system corruption: Problems with NTFS, ext4, ZFS and other systems.
  • Ransomware attacks: Data encryption by malware.
  • Logical failures: Initialisation errors or inaccessible partitions due to software problems.
  • Electrical failures: Overvoltage or abrupt loss of power.

Recovery in RAID systems is complex and depends on the RAID level:

  • RAID 0: It is difficult to recover data due to the lack of redundancy, but it is possible to reconstruct fragments of the data with specialised tools.
  • RAID 1: As the data is mirrored, recovery takes place from the intact disc.
  • RAID 5/6: Advanced techniques are applied to reconstruct lost data using parity information.
  • It is essential to identify the correct order of the discs, RAID parameters (stripe size, parity) and avoid rewriting data on the array during the process.
  • Don’t take hasty action: Avoid repeated reboots or the use of inappropriate tools, which can overwrite data.
  • Prior analysis: Carry out diagnostics to identify physical or logical faults.
  • Create disc images: Work on copies of the original devices to protect the remaining data.
  • Check the type of RAID: The recovery procedure varies depending on the configuration of the array.
  • Safe environment: Keep devices in controlled conditions to prevent further damage.

The main challenges include:

  • Complexity of virtualised systems: Recovering data from VMs in Hyper-V, VMware or Proxmox requires identifying inaccessible VHD, VMDK or raw files.
  • Simultaneous failure: Problems in the hypervisor or physical storage can corrupt several VMs at the same time.
  • Corrupted snapshots: Corrupt snapshots make it difficult to restore to previous states.
  • Deduplication and encryption: Advanced storage technologies complicate the recovery of individual data.

We can detect, contain, eradicate and recover data following cyber attacks.
