Mac Disk Recovery : Recover Deleted Boot Partition
Mac OS X hard drive is divided into various partitions, called volume, for effective management of your precious data stored on it. Every Mac computer has a boot volume, which contains critical system files that are required for your Mac OS X operating system-based computer to boot up. These files are pretty important for booting up your system. In case the boot partition gets damaged or deleted, your system become totally unbootable and unusable. It leads to severe data loss and require Mac drive recovery solutions to fix the problem, if there is no backup in place. The boot volume of your Mac OS X operating system contains the following files: Mac OS X operating system. MBR (Master Boot Record). BootX, Mac OS X boot loader. Operating system kernel. Binary files that are required for multiple kernel extensions. Mach/BSD data structures. Input/Output Kit. Init, Mach bootstrap (service naming) daemon. The boot volume of your Mac OS X hard drive must be a primary volume and set as active. This need can be completed on any hard drive on a computer that your system BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) searches when Mac OS X operating system starts. There are some situations where boot volume of your Mac computer may get damaged and your system can not boot up. This behavior cause critical data loss and put you in need of disk recovery Mac solutions. Boot volume may corrupt due to any of the following reasons: Improper system shutdown due to power outage, system crash, and user mistakes. Accidental deletion of some critical boot files by the user. Virus infection. Viruses are malicious programs that may enter your system through Internet, Email, or removable devices. Operating system malfunction. Missing or corrupt data structures, like file system, MBR, boot loader, and operating system kernel. If you come across any of the above mentioned situations, you need to format your hard drive, reinstall Mac OS X operating system, and then restore data from backup. But, you may face critical situations if backup is not available. In such situations, Mac disk recovery software come for your help to extract inaccessible data. The drive recovery Mac tools are particularly designed to scan entire drive and extract all inaccessible data from it.

FAQ: Difference between BESR and BE.
Some of the main differences between Backup Exec and Backup Exec System Recovery: 1) Backup Exec is a backup and restore software, whereas Backup exec System Recovery is a recovery software. 2) BESR canwrite data only to disks not to tapes, whereas BE can write to both. 3) BE works at file level whereas BESRworks at block level.SSR and Hyper-V_VM Protection
Hello all I am making a blog post after a long time but now onwards I will be regular! We keep getting queries on best practices/ways to protect Hyper-V VMs with SSR, so here is some useful information. Two different Methods/strategies could be employed to protect virtual machines on Windows Server with Hyper-V role enabled environment:
Who's Looking After Your Clouds?
Cloud is the answer. It has to be doesn't it? And its all about software, right? Wrong. I'm at VMworld in Copenhagen this week and its not just about software and its not all about virtual. Sean Regan walked around the show and found 14 hardware boxes that weigh more than him. Cloud? Maybe - clouds aren't weighed down by steel boxes. Consolidation? Maybe. Some of its expansion, especially in storage, but shhh, don't tell anyone; its a secret. From customers I've talked to here it seems to be all about doing more with existing hardware. Getting the cloud you want from the infrastructure you've got. That sounds like its a blend of physical and virtual, not just all about virtual. Symantec can take the hardware you've got today and help you build a cloud infrastructure on top of it in partnership with VMware. Once you've built that infrastructure, we'll help you protect it too. Can you imagine deploying a physical production server without securing it or backing it up these days? You wouldn't really would you? So why not extend the physical processes and technologies into virtual as you deploy it. Sure, its shiny and new, but that's not to say the backup, security and availability of it needs to be totally different. How much time have you got to learn new processes and tecnolgoies and try to integrate them with what you're already using and familiar with? If the answer is lots, then you're in the minority! Here's the other thing if you didn't manage to get to VMworld this year. It's funny but everyone is 'number one for VMware backup.' I know I've said it before in previous posts but Symantec really is - most market share, most customers, most customers backing up virtual environments with Backup Exec and NetBackup. What you do need to ask though is these two things when it comes to VMware backup: Firstly, is your backup product VMware Ready? If a backup product isn't certified by VMware that's a problem. Why did VMware say no to certification? Secondly, why are you number one in VMware backup? Ask the question. Most of the responses we've had to the question this week at VMWorld have been along the lines of "the marketing guy told us to say that" which is interesting. What else has been of interest this week? Well outside of the obvious - customers want a better way of backing up VMware than file by file, machine by machine - the better way being the Agent for VMware that we've had in Backup Exec for over three years - high availability integration has also been on the agenda. ApplicationHA and it's integration with Backup Exec and VMware was described to me as "something from the future" by one customer I spoke to today. The ability to look inside a VM and see whether the application has failed, rather than just monitoring the VM it is sitting on, and bring the application up on a second VM - interesting. The next bit more interesting though for Backup Exec customers is that if that failure occurs and the application can't be failed over, Backup Exec can create a restore job and, optionally, automatically restore as well to bring the machine with the failed application back online. With a retail price of around $350 per VM that kind of functionality and integration seems to me to be something of a bargain. I'm not going to get started on security for VMware environments other than to say that Symantec is the largest security software company and when you look at new real estate in a virtual infrastructure the combination of market leading backup, security and availability from one company just makes sense. There's a good reason it's all market-leading software and all those reasons circulate around our customers who continue to buy and deploy that software. So who's protecting your clouds? If you aren't thinking about Symantec, you aren't thinking . . .
