Servers & Virtual Machines data recovery
Server down and backups missing? We recover data from failed servers, SAN and iSCSI storage, virtual machines and business databases.

What we recover
Windows and Linux servers, VMware VMFS datastores, Hyper-V VHDX files, SQL Server, Exchange and accounting databases. We rebuild the RAID, then the virtual disks, then the files and databases inside them.
Business continuity
We can prioritise critical systems and provide data in stages, so the business can restart while the rest is recovered.
Common questions
Can you recover a VMware datastore?
Yes. We rebuild the storage, then extract the VM disk files.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We can sign your confidentiality terms before work starts.
What does data recovery cost?
Every case starts with a professional evaluation (£94.80), followed by a fixed quote.
