Media servers with higher and higher capacity are becoming more and more common with the integration of media into home entertainment systems. There are three fundamental issues making media server recoveries complex.

1. Media Server Hard Drives have a high incidence of severe hard drive failure because the systems are typically not monitored as closely as your desktop or laptop. With a computer you directly interact with such as your desktop or laptop, a performance issue, mechanical noise, or most other problems are noticed very quickly as you see the effect the issue is having on the system. Media servers tend to be placed in less conspicuous locations without direct interaction, leading to more time before a hard drive failure is detected.
2. Media servers commonly use a proprietary operating system and hard drive format. Although the hard drives found in a media server are the same as any other high-performance hard drive, the OS is typically a Linux variant, and often uses vendor-proprietary hard drive format.
3. Media server's typical are not backed up. Media servers by nature often have large volumes of storage making backup more complicated and less economical.
