Secure RAID Recovery Solutions DubaiUAE’s Enterprise Authority for Critical Server & Data Restoration When a multi-disk array fails, your business doesn’t just lose data; it loses time, revenue, and reputation. At Lifeguard Data Recovery, we specialize in providing the most Secure RAID Recovery Solutions Dubai has to offer.
Our locally based, ISO 5 certified laboratory is engineered to handle catastrophic failures across all RAID levels and server architectures. From the high-frequency trading floors of the DIFC to government infrastructure, we provide the technical shield your data requires.
Why Choose Us
Trust in enterprise recovery is built on technical transparency and local accountability. Unlike many providers who ship sensitive drives to overseas labs, Lifeguard Data Recovery performs every stage of the RAID server restoration right here in Dubai. This local presence is vital for compliance with UAE data protection laws and ensures that your hardware is never at risk during international transit.
Our facility is one of the few in the Middle East equipped with a dedicated certified cleanroom data recovery environment. This allows our engineers to perform delicate physical repairs on individual member disks without the risk of airborne contamination.
As recognized data recovery experts in Dubai, we combine global forensic tools like the PC-3000 Flash and SAS/SATA suites with proprietary algorithms designed to bypass the most complex controller failures. We don’t just “run software” we manually reconstruct the parity and stripe parameters to ensure a bit-for-bit restoration of your mission-critical assets.
Our Data Recovery Services
Our laboratory is engineered to support the entire spectrum of digital storage used by modern UAE enterprises.
RAID and Server Recovery
We are the first point of contact for businesses facing severe server outages. We provide RAID reconstruction for all configurations, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. Our engineers are proficient in recovering data from all major server brands, including Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant, IBM System x, and enterprise-grade NAS/SAN systems like Synology and QNAP.
Hard Drive and SSD Data Retrieval
Physical failures are common in the UAE’s high-temperature environment. We provide specialized hard drive recovery for mechanical issues like head crashes or motor failure. For high-speed storage, our SSD data retrieval services bypass failed controller chips to read NAND flash memory directly, salvaging data from non-responsive NVMe and SATA SSDs.
Specialized Restoration
-
CCTV and DVR/NVR Recovery: Retrieving critical surveillance footage for security audits or legal investigations.
-
Corrupted Video File Repair: Restoring unplayable 4K/8K footage for Dubai’s creative and media agencies.
-
Mobile & Laptop Recovery: High-success water damage phone recovery and MacBook chip-level data retrieval.
Process | How It Works
Our workflow follows a strict forensic protocol to ensure the highest safety for your original media.
-
Free Consultation and Diagnosis: We begin with an immediate technical briefing to understand the failure sequence.
-
Device Inspection & Failure Analysis: Each drive in the array is evaluated in our lab. We check the health of the read/write heads and identify the RAID parameters, such as stripe size and drive order.
-
Recovery Plan and Transparent Quote: You receive a detailed report and a fixed-price quote. This quote covers all laboratory time and parts no hidden fees.
-
Secure Extraction: We create bit-level clones of every healthy sector. All reconstruction is done on these images to protect your original disks.
-
Verification and Data Delivery: Once the array is virtually rebuilt, you verify the file list. Your data is then delivered on a secure, encrypted new medium.
Issues We Fix
Lifeguard Data Recovery resolves the complex failure scenarios that cause standard IT support to fail.
-
RAID Controller Failure: When a hardware controller dies, it often leaves data in a proprietary format. We manually translate this metadata to reconstruct the array.
-
Multiple Drive Failures: We specialize in recovering data from RAID 5 or 6 systems where the number of failed drives has exceeded the system’s fault tolerance.
-
Ransomware Data Decryption: If your server is hit by a cyberattack, our urgent data restoration UAE team uses advanced tools to decrypt files and stabilize your file system.
-
Accidental Formatting: We use deep-sector scanning to perform formatted partition recovery, even after a “re-initialize” command has been issued.
-
Physical Damage: Our cleanroom experts handle drives damaged by power surges, fire, or liquid spills.
Costs | Pricing Insight
Enterprise recovery pricing reflects the complexity and urgency of the task. We maintain full transparency throughout the process.
| Service Level | Description | Indicative Price (AED) |
| RAID Logical Recovery | Software errors, deleted volumes | Starts |
| RAID Firmware/Physical | Mechanical failure on member disks | Starts |
| SSD/NVMe Retrieval | Controller or electrical failure | Starts |
| Emergency 24/7 Service | Round-the-clock dedicated engineering | Custom Quote |
Note: All prices are subject to a physical diagnosis to determine the exact extent of damage.
Tips and Helpful Advice
Immediate action is the most critical factor in successful data retrieval.
-
Power Down Immediately: If you hear a hard drive clicking sound, shut the system down. Continued power can cause permanent platter scoring.
-
Do Not Rebuild: If more than one drive has failed in a RAID 5, a rebuild attempt will often overwrite the remaining parity, making recovery impossible.
-
Label the Drive Order: If you remove drives from a server rack, mark their slot numbers clearly. Drive order is vital for manual reconstruction.
-
Avoid DIY Utilities: Standard software often lacks the sophistication to handle physical failures and can cause further logical corruption.

FAQs
1. Can you recover data from a RAID 5 with two failed drives?
Yes. While a RAID 5 only has a one-drive fault tolerance, we can often repair one or both failed drives in our cleanroom to reconstruct the full array.
2. How long does RAID recovery take?
Standard recovery takes 3-7 days. Our emergency data recovery service is available 24/7 for cases requiring a same-day turnaround.
