SQL Database Repair and Recovery:
For thousands of companies like yours, Microsoft SQL Server is a mission-critical 24x7 application. When it fails or goes offline and data is inaccessible, your company's future may be at risk.

In a crisis situation, data loss can be devastating...

It is tempting to throw caution to the wind in hasty attempts to bring your SQL database back online. Doing so puts your SQL data and your company at risk of total data loss.

BEFORE running SQL Database, repair utilities or restoring backups it would be wise to preserve the integrity of your database. By following the steps outlined below, you will reduce the risk of data loss, speed up recovery time, shorten your downtime and preserve the integrity of your data.

If you have already performed, rebuild and recovery procedures without success or other data recovery companies have attempted recovery but failed or returned corrupt data, please contact our SQL Database Engineers. We recover critical SQL data when other companies fail because we are not dependent upon software. In many cases, we can extract individual records from damaged and orphaned tables, manually rebuild and repair those tables then insert the records back into a working SQL database.

Steps to Successful SQL Database Recovery and Repair:

1. Create a written plan of attack and document the steps you take.

2. What happened? Power failure, hard drive or RAID failure, deletion, upgrade, etc.

3. ***Crucial*** Create a sector-by-sector image of your drive(s) or RAID array to new drives.

4. Remove new, imaged drives and avoid writing to them or running repair utilities on them.

5. Using your original drive(s) or RAID array, you can now safely attempt repairs and rebuilds.

6. If repair attempts by your IT people, Microsoft or others fail to restore your SQL database, DO NOT let anyone attempt repair or rebuilds on your imaged drives.

7. When your best attempts fail to deliver the results you need, call Seattle Data Recovery.

Taking the steps outlined above will preserve the integrity of your SQL database. You will greatly improve your chances of fully recovering your SQL data and prevent loss of your company's vital information.
