Recovery of RAID5 and RAID0 Data from Windows Disk Management and Server Manager (WSS)

In this article we will examine how to perform data recovery from software RAID 5 and RAID 0 created using the Windows Storage Spaces and Windows Disk Management tools in Windows Server 2012. You will learn how to quickly restore access to information if the server fails, one of the drives malfunctions, or the operating system stops recognizing the RAID array. We will review common failure scenarios and demonstrate effective data recovery methods in environments where arrays are used for critical tasks: database storage, server services, or virtualization platforms.
