Винтокапец!, инструментарий Опции

[Anatoly Bogdanov]

Коллеги, дамы анд господа, просто сочувствующие и любопытствующие!
Интересует инструментарий и статистика.
Статистика по количеству дохлых винтов, бренд, объём.
Инструментарий восстановления инфы с винтов, какой, программно-аппаратный?

ЗЫ один винт в месяц это много или мало?

"Greetings! As you are most likely aware, our ********** Windows VPS node suffered a severe hardware failure early Saturday morning. After thorough investigation, we’ve determined that the incident was caused by a failed RAID controller. Unfortunately, that failed controller also seems to have corrupted a large portion of the file structure and data on the drives which directly led to the crash of the hardware node as crucial files were corrupted. All attempts over the last 48 hours via several means have failed to recover the data, including several very time consuming attempts to mount and extract the data using virtually every method at our disposal. Unfortunately, our efforts have not yielded any results and so at this time, we must pronounce the data on ******** a 100% loss due to corruption of the RAID10 array. While this is devastating for us, we understand that it is even more devastating for all of you. Hardware failures are unfortunately a part of dealing with physi!
cal servers and despite the precautions in place to prevent such occurences, it is unfortunately something that can and does happen to us as well as other hosting providers, and we want you to know that we do understand that doesn’t make them any less difficult to deal with. We sincerely value your business and we want to do what we can to help you through this. We will be extending our technical support services to you, whether you be managed or unmanaged, to help you to restore your servers should you have a backup or need other technical assistance. While these types of failures are very, very rare, they unfortunately do happen and we would like to ensure that each and every one of you are taken care of. Please contact us at your earliest convenience via ****** and we would be happy to provide any assistance we can. Thank you for your understanding, ********"

А бекапить впсную ноду сами понимаете как легко.
Что касается тулз -пару раз пытались R-Studio for Linux - мало чем помогает. А так в основном это сервисные службы со стоимостью от 2000 евро. Правда надо заметить что проблемные диски были с ext3.
