Reverse RAIDs


Reverse RAIDs is a technique that is reverse to creating virtual RAIDs. When creating a reverse RAID, the data from a real object is decomposed into virtual parents.Then data on those virtual parents can be processed like on real objects. They can be viewed, edited, imaged, copied to physical drives, etc.

• Reverse RAID of an Object

This technique can be used to decompose data on a single volume into virtual parents. Then such virtual parents can be processed like on real objects. They can be viewed, edited, imaged, copied to physical drives, etc.

• Reverse RAID of a RAID

This technique can be used to re-construct data on individual RAID drives when data on physical drives is corrupted, but can be recovered using RAID redundancy. A missing drive is an example of this case. Or if there are bad sectors scattered over the physical drives but the overall RAID integrity remains. Then the data can be copied to physical drives to create a healthy RAID.

Note: Many controllers write their own metadata to drives to recognize that the drives belong to certains RAIDs. Without that metadata they won't see those RAIDs. You have to write that metadata manually.
