AS/400 Disaster Data Recovery

AS/400 Disaster Data Recovery

Problem: A large apparel corporation wanted to clean up their AS/400  and delete some old data. This work was outsourced to a company where overnight they not only deleted the information they were supposed to but also important data for current customers and inventory. The mistake was found 24 hours later, when the back-up that was set up had already gone over the old data and replaced it with the new, incomplete set. Thousands of files were lost and needed to be retrieved immediately, but no one could help.

Solution: KDI was called in as AS/400 and I-Series specialists and did an emergency recovery of the corporation’s files. Working around the clock to recover the missing files, KDI successfully restored the data, and is now working with this company and their AS/400 to ensure that this will not happen again.
