Do you rely on RAID as your NAS backup?

There are many factors due to which RAID based NAS can fail. Though it is always advised to take the help from RAID Data Recovery experts in case of power failures, overheating, virus attack, incorrect setup, OS errors, and hardware controller failures, you can follow the steps mentioned below otherwise.

· Power off the RAID NAS.

·  Remove all hard drives and connect all NAS RAID drives to Windows PC.

· Install and run recovery software.

RAID provides a lot of storage with some protection against drive failure. If a drive fails in a 4-unit NAS, one can put in a new drive and rebuild the volume with no loss of data.

If the controller card fails in the NAS, not so simple!

I have my NAS backed up to an external USB drive. The OS on the NAS runs those backups automatically, but I had to set them up.

Well, RAID is in fact very cool.... but usually requires an appliance, and the appliance itself can fail.

If you need high throughput access to a lot of storage, go with raid.

If you just need to back up your PC periodically, a single external disk will work.
