Recovery
Hard Disk / Solid State Disk Software Failure
The file system and the Linux operating system of a Scan2Net scanner are
very robust and forgiving. The file system has the ability to repair itself,
even if the system loses power during a disk write operation, a condition
which will almost certainly corrupt any Windows, Android or MAC OS
based computer.
Nevertheless, under certain circumstances it could happen that the
Scan2Net Linux software on the HD/SSD becomes corrupt. Unexpected
power failures, hard power off cycles via the main power switch without a
previously controlled shut down and other unexpected terminations of the
operating system may cause this kind type of failure. Also, any
uncontrolled interrupt of a firmware update procedure or other functions
which involve writing to the main storage (HD or SSD) are a potential risk
to the integrity of the firmware on the HD/SSD. The Scan2Net operating
system of every WideTEK® or Bookeye® scanner is Linux based and
although it happens very rarely, the Linux operating system can be
corrupted like any other operating system; whether it is a Windows,
Android, Mac or any other OS.
If the Linux operating system or other parts of the HD/SSD are corrupted,
there is still no need to replace the HD/SSD, at least not before the
recovery procedure is executed once. This procedure is similar to the
procedures necessary to restore a Windows, Android or Apple OS to a
previous state.
