  • Patent number: 12050778
    Abstract: A data restoration method and a related device are provided. To avoid a data loss in a cache in a process of restoring an offline RAID system, a security area is configured in a disk, where the security area is used to back up data in the cache of a RAID controller after the RAID system is offline. Therefore, when a first instruction used to indicate that the RAID system is offline is obtained, the data in the cache may be backed up to the security area. In this way, after the RAID system is restored, the RAID system can obtain backup data of the data in the cache from the security area, to avoid problems such as an operating system startup failure or a user data loss caused by the data loss in the cache.
