Linux & Unix Data Recovery:
Linux data recovery requires specific knowledge of Linux file systems. The EXT file system (along with ReiserFS, JFS, UFS, XFS data recovery and other Linux and Unix file systems) is different from NTFS or FAT. DTI DATA has trained engineers in all types of operating systems and file systems. We have even recovered data from many proprietary systems. DTI Data is as comfortable working with Linux and Unix as we are with Windows or Mac.
Linux is now often found in most NAS devices in various configurations including standalone drives, RAID O, RAID 5, RAID 1 and JBOD. DTI Data recovery specializes in Linux data recovery and all RAID recovery configurations.

If at all possible, remove the media from the computer. Get expert help if necessary. Send us just the hard drive(s), tape(s), floppy, jaz, zip, optical, flashcard, microdrive etc..
Handle failed hard disk drives with the same care as new drives.
Use the original shipping materials, if you still have them. If not, they are relatively easy to replicate:
1.) Wrap media in an anti-static bag or tinfoil to prevent Static Electricity.
2.) Use a box that is at least twice the size of the media so that the media can be suspended in the middle of the box. We recommend a minimum of two inches of insulation all around for a 1 pound hard drive.
3.) Pack securely with foam, bubble wrap, or newspaper so the media will not move from the middle of the box. Avoid using peanuts as contents will settle to the bottom of the box.
4.) If sending a computer, laptop or notebook, use great care to ensure proper cushioning and protection. We recommend at least 6 inches for insulation. The heavier the unit, the more insulation required.
