Linux & Unix Data Services

advertisedata_banneropt_.jpg

Unix and Linux data recovery can offer a number of additional challenges to data recovery professionals not least of which is the number of variants of these operating systems available.

Data recovery services companies experienced in Linux and Unix will however be fully conversant with the Unix file system and all the LInux file system versions as well, so in most cases will be able to effect a restore or file recovery.

Most business running Unix will hopefully have a disaster recovery plan in place but if not some companies will also be able to offer Unix support as well as raid server recovery and remote support and retrieval where appropriate.

Typical systems supported could include but is not limited to: BSD, Debian, Novell, Red Hat Fedora, Solaris, SuSE , Xenix, and others.

If you need to clarify your Linux or Unix data recovery requirements please speak to specialist provider.

About Linux


Linux is a generic term referring to Unix-like computer operating systems based on the Linux kernel. Their development is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source software collaboration; typically all the underlying source code can be used, freely modified, and redistributed by anyone under the terms of the GNU GPL and other free licenses.

Linux is predominantly known for its use in servers, although it is installed on a wide variety of computer hardware, ranging from embedded devices and mobile phones to supercomputers. Linux distributions, installed on both desktop and laptop computers, have become increasingly commonplace in recent years, owing largely to the popular Ubuntu distribution and to the emergence of netbooks.

Whilst some companies and individuals extol the virtues of open source software given the many benefits both financial and technical others prefer the stability (if there could be such a thing given the complexity of modern software) of closed proprietary Operating systems such as the windows platform.

There will be arguments for many years as to what is the best platform (BSD, Debian, Novell, Red Hat Fedora, Solaris, SuSE to name but a few) and just like any form of software most technicians will argue for what they know best as it is virtually impossible for any single person to keep abreast of all developments across all platforms.

The name "Linux" comes from the Linux kernel, originally written in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. The rest of the system usually comprises components such as the Apache HTTP Server, the X Window System, the K Desktop Environment, and utilities and libraries from the GNU operating system (announced in 1983 by Richard Stallman). Commonly-used applications with desktop Linux systems include the Mozilla Firefox web-browser and the OpenOffice.org office application suite.....read more
