SAN Data Recovery

Sharing storage usually simplifies storage administration and adds flexibility since storage devices and accessories do not have to be locally accessed to move storage from one server to another. This architecture is used primarily to combine remote computer storage devices to the operating system in way for these devices appear as physically attached. Because of the multiple devices involved SAN architectures can be quite complex and the more complex the system, the more likely a failure can occur in one component, affecting the entire storage architecture. Like any electronic system, SAN devices can fail, regardless of the quality of its components or its redundancy configuration.

How to Handle SAN Failure

By taking appropriate steps to preserve your data, you will drastically increase your chances of a successful recovery. The best way to prevent any further data loss and to preserve your files in their original state is to keep you SAN system off. If your SAN uses RAID, it is also highly advisable not to attempt rebuilding the array.
