Alandata Data Recovery specializies in reecovery of all all NAS, network attached storage devices. Buffalo, Snap Server, D-Link or Linksys, our proprietary software has recovered NAS data since 2000.

Alandata engineers are experts at analyzing file-systems. Manufacturers use linux based file-systems that are often modified to suit the their special 'features'. So we adapted and customized our recovery tools for each unique device - off the shelf tools just won't work.

Alandata Data Recovery wrote our own NAS data recovery utility in 2000 to recover files from one of the first NAS devices (SnapServer). Since then Alandata has recovered hundreds of NAS devices. NAS means Network Attached Storage means disk drives connected to your network. NAS are also usually RAIDs. NAS are almost always Linux based computers.Your Windows or MAC files are stored in a proprietary Linux filesystem format.

NAS is defined by Network Attached Storage.. It seems like its just a box with disk drives in it, thats attached to your network. What it really is - is a computer workstation just like yours except it has no monitor, keyboard or mouse. Just about every NAS uses proprietary Linux file and operating systems.. Files stored on a NAS are written in a linux filesystem. Even if you are using Windows Vista, Windows XPWindows 7 or MAC, when you save your files to a Network Attached Storage they are saved in a linux file format.

Alandata Data Recovery has been developing software for linux since 1994. We long ago wrote utilities to recover files from every NAS device. These NAS filesystems are proprietary so we had to analyze them to figure out how the files are stored and how to recover the data. We can recover data from Snap, Lacie, intellistor, Buffalo, Maxattach - you name and we have probably recovered the data from it. Some NAS devices can also be RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5 - so all the extra issues of RAID recovery also applies.
