Data recovery plugin for Dell EqualLogic

Automatic detection of SAN volume metadata

All the parameters required to assemble the storage are detected by the software automatically. The user can choose the source RAID set from the list, and the software will pick the existing SAN configurations, including the current one and those that have been earlier applied within the system. It is also possible to view each metadata version state and thus ensure that it hasn’t been seriously damaged.

Manual provision of intermediate configurations

In situations of severe corruption that leads to troubles with automatic reconstruction of the storage layout, any of its constituents, including the underlying RAID set, the copy of metadata and the superblock can be specified manually. The array can be pre-assembled using the convenient means provided by the software, whereas the superblock and the metadata can be imported into the plugin in the form of files. Such an approach leaves the opportunity for successful recovery even in the most challenging scenarios.

Prompt access to the SAN volume content

Once the need configuration is selected, the software employs it for translation of the volume’s address space and correct reading of the available file systems, enabling further data access. The user will be presented with the list of SAN volumes and snapshots, being able to explore their content straight away. This not only minimizes the time required to initiate the recovery process, but also reduces the potential for human error caused by the intricacies of manual SAN reconstruction.

Handy volume preview function

The plugin allows opening a volume and enables inspection of its content using the built-in file system preview tool. It is possible to choose any of the found volumes or volume snapshots and look into the file system content, even without activating a license. This way, it becomes simple to verify the relevance and condition of the data before committing to any further data recovery manipulations.

Smooth data recovery from Dell EqualLogic SAN

Once mounted in the program’s interface, the reconstructed Dell EqualLogic volume can be easily processed in the software like any conventional storage device. The user can apply the existing software toolkit facilitating the extraction of valuable information and complete the data recovery procedure by saving the restored folders and files to a secure external location.

Trouble-free activation in the host software
