Database Recovery Specialists | RAID configurations

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Most large companies rely entirely upon databases today – more so than the majority of us realize. Databases have become so much a vital part of our lives that we take them for granted. Databases are used every day by:

  • Schools and Unive

    rsities in their Marks Databases

  • Police for profiles of criminals, DNA and fingerprints
  • Libraries, chain stores, estate agents, banks, brokers, air traffic control
  • Blogs
  • On line stores

The list is endless. Databases have become such a part of our daily lives that for one to fail can mean financial disaster for an organization if the data is not recovered rapidly. Quick and efficient database recovery is essential, and there are professionals like Intratec who can do this. Organizations should make regular backups of their databases or have the data stored in such a way that it can be recovered easily, by using RAID configurations, for example.

Fujitsu drives

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Whereas failed Fujitsu drives can frequently be repaired, it is essential that you do not attempt to replace a faulty controller board with one from a working drive. Information on the board is specific to the drive it has been attached to and it will not work anywhere else. What’s worse is that a different controller board can cause mechanical failure and dramatically increase the risk of making your data unrecoverable. As soon as you suspect your Fujitsu drive may be about to break down, turn the drive off and remove it from the system as soon as possible. The sooner you power down the drive the better your chances of recovering lost data once you send the drive to us for diagnosis. If you have a suspect Fujitsu Hard Drive don’t hesitate to contact us.

Intratec services

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Intratec is an organization that are experts in data recovery. We started off in Cape Town in the year 2000, and within a few years have already opened branches in Johannesburg and Durban. We use the very latest hi tech equipment and the latest soft

ware available for data recovery. If you know your way around computers and databases it can be quite simple to recover lost data yourself, especially when you can call upon backups. However, the recovery job is sometimes much more complex, involving the use of a special clean room in which to dismantle fragile equipment such as hard drives. This is the time when you need to call in the database recovery experts.

Disaster Recovery Centre

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

In the event of a disaster, the data on backup media will not be sufficient to recover. Computer systems onto which the data can be restored and properly configured networks are necessary too. Some organizations have their own data recovery centres that are equipped for this scenario. Other organizations contract this out to a third-party recovery centre. Note that because Disaster Recovery site is itself a huge investment, backup is very rarely considered preferred method of moving data to Disaster Recovery site. More typical way would be remote disk mirroring, which keeps the Disaster Recovery data as up-to-date as possible.

Food and Computers

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

I once witnessed, in a provincial department of education office, a group of secretaries eating nyama and pap with their fingers during their lunch hour while sitting at their workstations. This kind of behaviour is horrific, but it probably happens in many offices across the country to some degree or other. If at all possible food and drink should be discouraged from being allowed at a computer workstation, or better still banned altogether. Keyboards attract food particles and cigarette ash, and a clumsily placed Coke can wring havoc. You would be surprised at how often we have to retrieve data because of this type of negligence.

In situ recovery

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

If the circumstances are such that you are unable to remove a failed unit and deliver it to our premises – for example if you just cannot afford to close down a computer, we can, under these special services, dispatch a technician to your premises to attempt data recovery in situ. We will carry out a telephonic troubleshooting in the same way as any other recovery process and give you a quotation based on the diagnosis. However, this quote is subject to change once the technician has been to the site and confirmed the diagnosis. For more information please contact us on our Toll Free number 086 727 7269

KwaZulu-Natal Data Recovery

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

It can be very disheartening to suddenly find that you’ve lost a whole lot of data from your computer. There are a number of ways that this can happen, from the accidental deletion of one or more files or formatting of a hard drive, to virus or malware attacks, or even the corruption of data caused by mains electricity spikes and dips, or even the accidental knocking of a computer when it is in the process of writing to the hard drive. In KwaZulu-Natal, data recovery experts such as Intratec are there to assist you. There was a time when, if you had a business in KwaZulu-Natal, data recovery involved calling in the experts from Johannesburg or Cape Town, but early in 2008 Intratec opened a local branch in Durban to cater for the needs of that province.

Intratec was started in Cape Town in the year 2000 by the de Jager brothers and specialises in all types of data recovery. KwaZulu-Natal was a logical step for the future. The company uses the very latest technology and software for its operations. If you’re in KwaZulu-Natal and you need data recovery you should download the PDF diagnosis form from our website at .

Restore PC Data

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

It is difficult to describe just how devastating it can be to lose data from your pc. Some people have been reduced to tears when they’ve found that something they have been working on for days or weeks has suddenly just disappeared from their computer. There’s an easy way to avoid this happening – do backups. It’s impossible to tell just how important it is to do backups. If you backup your data on a regular basis then it is easy to restore pc data. It doesn’t take all that much time to backup your files – not after the first backup session, anyway. The first is always the longest and the most important. On this backup operation you need to meticulously go through all your data files and copy them across to a CD or to another computer, file server, or even onto the Internet – there are so many data storage sites that this is simple to do. To restore pc data if you’ve done regular backups is relatively easy.

Once you have a master CD with all your backed up files on it, thereafter you only need to backup new data files or those that you alter. If you have a program file crash on you, it is comparatively easy to re-install the program – you should have the original disk with your software on it, and in most cases it’s just a case of re-installing the software over the top of the previous installation. If you need to restore pc data for a program you’ve downloaded from the web, you’ll probably find the installation file in your downloads folder. If not, it’s just a question of downloading it again – an easy job. To restore pc data if you’ve kept regular backups is easy, so save yourself a problem, and do regular backups.
