Data recovery case studies in Warsaw — real-world scenarios and procedures
Data recovery case studies — how the laboratory works
Below we show examples of crash scenarios with which customers come to us:
Selected case studies
- Ransomware on a QNAP NAS — recovery without paying the ransom — demoted, discontinued restoration of the RAID and safe reconstruction of the system instead of further writing on the matrix.
- VMware / ESXi — datastore missing after restart – internal tool after loss of detection, read-only mode and setting priority directories and files.
- WD My Passport NVMe data recovery — case study – case NVMe in housing and technology mode.
- Ransomware on the NAS QNAP - safe sequence of actions“ — to cut off the incident, to secure the material and to assess recovery possibilities without hasty action“.
- First 24 hours after a company server or NAS failure — analysis of LUN and recovery in the corporate environment without risky repairs on production.
- Case study: a flooded wedding photographer's laptop Action under pressure and safe procedure.
Why case studies help with safe recovery
- Show what actions of users most often worsen the situation (format, CHKDSK, initialization, restoration of the RAID).
- Make sure... diagnosis of symptoms and selection of the correct direction: HDD/SSD/RAID/Flash.
- They build trust: procedures, work on a sectoral copy, confidentiality (NDA) and rigorous laboratory approach.
How to read case studies without drawing the wrong conclusions
A case study should not encourage visitors to repeat the same procedure at home. Its role is to show the lab workflow: secure the storage device first, create a sector copy or technological image, and only then perform the actual recovery. This matters especially with SSD/NVMe, RAID/NAS, USB-only devices and liquid damage, where one wrong step can close the door to safe recovery.
- look for a similar symptom, not an identical device model,
- pay attention to what was done before recovery and what was not clearly done,
- Consider the case description as decision-making material: whether to interrupt the trial and escalate the matter to the laboratory.
Case studies by media type and business environment
If you want to find a comparable incident faster, jump to the right thematic cluster. This makes case studies support not only trust, but also practical triage of the failure scenario.
- HDD —
- SSD/NVMe – Brick, no detection, problems after upgrade or power loss.
- RAID / NAS – degraded, offline, failed restoration of the RAID and corporate cases.
- Ransomware data recovery —
- Accounting offices and business cases — files where confidentiality and deadlines are part of the recovery plan.
Want to assess your case quickly?
Screenplays help you recognize the crash pattern, but do not replace the diagnosis of a specific storage device. If you see a similar symptom, describe the storage device, the message and the most important data before subsequent attempts to repair.
