@sysp34: There are data recovery companies worldwide. You should find one or more that are close to you and speak with them. Use the one you feel is the most professional, and uses the best technology to recover everything possible.

i just currious how to recover data when some hard drive failed to detect? well it pretty easy when there are a burned chip on hard drive mainboard, we can use the same mainboard from another hard drive but when a mechanical error (maybe the disk controlled) like this picture http://www.fotosearch.com/comp/UNY/UNY789/the-inside-of-a-computer-hard-disk-drive-~-u11640557.jpg i've no idea how to recover it :( i though hard drive manufacture or maybe military...

Wow! I guess I haven't been on here as much as I thought, lately. I couldn't even tell there was anything wrong. A telltale sign of a good webmaster. You have every right to give yourself a major pat on the back, Todd. Very nice job !

@rcbbuckeye: I wish I did, but I'm not so lucky as that. I do what I do because I made a personal commitment to do so, that's all. Thanks for the compliments.

This has to be a real hobby for you with all the work and expense. The thought crossed my mind that you either have a really good paying job, or you hit the lottery sometime back. LOL. Anyway, just know that I like this site, and appreciate it and what you do.

I'm not knocking your question -- it's a good question. I'm just trying to explain how in my environment I do some things that are completely different than corporations with big IT budgets running tapes, but have similar effectiveness. I'm sure the next time something goes wrong I'll be in even better shape, because each time you experience something new you can learn new ways and methods of being prepared for anything.

I woun't pretend to understand the whole idea but if i may go overboard here isn't there a way to back up Lottery Post and your other sites in some way like a tape reel or something like that. In the company i used to work for they had thousands of files for our machine shops and at the end of the day they would always tell us not to mess with their central unit as it was backing up files.

I'm speechless. All I can say is thank you for your never ending passion to keep this site alive. Traveling to another place to make sure it's done correctly is an exceptional quality on your part. Afterall, the Northrop name is in league with innovation such as the colaboration of the unveiling of the stealth bomber. It runs in your blood...lol

Todd thanks. I have been dealing with restoring a mirror set (old OS/2 architecture and hardware), my problems are minor compared to what you are dealing with. We truly appreciate your work and talent, data recovery from a catastrophic failure(s) is nerve racking. It is also especially difficult when your data center is in geographically different location. Thanks again.

I guess the new server didn't want to get left out of the action. At least you still have some humor left.<br
