A two‑bay NAS near Ranjit Avenue and Lawrence Road, Amritsar, flagged one member as failed and turned sluggish for teams in Alpha One and Mall Road. Some shares became read‑only, and the pool showed degraded after a restart, so the office wanted a low‑risk plan that kept the healthy disk safe. DataCare Labs proposed a step‑by‑step mirror‑safe flow: stabilize the failed disk, make a sector‑consistent clone, assemble a virtual mirror, and verify paths and permissions on test hosts before exporting.

• Brand: Toshiba N300
• Capacity: 14TB
• Data Size: 10.5TB
• Success Rate: 100%

Save delays and stubborn timeouts led to a failed member alert; the partner disk started logging slow reads and occasional warnings. A forced rebuild could have spread errors into the healthy member. The client paused changes and requested short, plain updates plus a familiar layout on return. They wanted mapped paths and names unchanged so users could reconnect quickly without rework.

With mirrors and small arrays, rushed rebuilds can push corruption into good members. The safer route is to stabilize mechanics, correct addressing, and create a clean, sector‑consistent clone. Reading data in a virtual mirror then preserves structures and permissions and avoids touching the good disk, making the handover easy for busy teams under time pressure.

DataCare Labs installed matching donor heads in a Class 100 clean‑room, repaired translator settings, and imaged stable bands first using short, gentle passes. Weak tracks were revisited with cool‑down intervals to control heat and stress. With a consistent clone complete, engineers built a virtual mirror to access shares safely. Paths and ACLs were validated on test hosts; sample files opened normally prior to packaging.

A total of 10.5TB was recovered, including departmental shares, projects, and backup sets. Folders mounted cleanly, mapped paths stayed consistent, and permissions behaved as expected. A short checklist explained the structure and practical backup steps. The office resumed normal work the same day with minimal disruption.

Conclusion:
A measured, member‑safe plan protects both data and time. With careful mechanics and parity‑aware steps, DataCare Labs returned a familiar environment ready to use, without risking the healthy disk or forcing rework for staff.

If a NAS in Amritsar shows a failed member or degraded pool, pause rebuilds and contact DataCare Labs. No Data No Charge keeps every step safe and straightforward.
