Server/RAID data recovery is most commonly associated with RAID array failures, hard drive crashes, power surges or power outages, fire damage, floods/water damage, or other physical damage to a disk, drive, or a RAID or SCSI controller.

Some of the most common data loss situations in servers are as follow:

• Server not booting up;
• Partitions and drives inaccessible drives
• Extremely sloe server; Applications and services not running properly.
• Corruption of files/data
• Bad sectors in RAID array members;
• Virus infection or malicious scripts;
• Hard disk drive component failure;
• Hard Disk Read/Write Head Crashes
• Server hard disk failure as a result of fire, or flood damage
• Media surface contamination and damage
• Accidental reformatting of partitions
• Accidental deletion of data by network users

The increasing complexity of many server operating systems results in additional loss situations:

• RAID array failure;
• Loss of Server registry configuration;
• Intermittent drive failure resulting in configuration corruption;
• Accidental reconfiguration of RAID drives;
• Multiple drive failure;
• Accidental replacement of media components
