What Can Expidata do to help you in your data loss situation?

Databases form the vital backbone of most company systems – whether running a critical multi-user environment or a smaller system accessed by a handful of employees in a close-knit environment, downtime is not acceptable

ExpiData can recover lost or inaccessible data from many Structured Query Language databases, including MYSQL, Microsoft SQL (MSSQL) and Oracle databases alongside many others.

ExpiData have full support for Microsoft Windows, all versions of Macintosh OS from System 7, Linux, Unix, Solaris and other Unix variants.  Whatever your O/S, timescale or specific data recovery requirement ExpiData can help you to recover your lost data quickly and with the minimum of fuss.
What Causes of data loss are supported?

If you have lost access to the server hosting your SQL database, or you have deleted rows, tables or whole database files ExpiData can help to recover your data, and in many cases have you up and running the very same day

Our service includes recovery of data from the following:


•    Failed Server and RAID arrays
•    Deleted data from Tables, Rows, and files
•    Deleted database files
•    Lost permissions and passwords
•    Bad sectors and file system corruption preventing data access
•    Disappeared and missing files and folders


There are also many more situations in which we can help you to recover your data, for further information or to discuss you data recovery requirement with a technical representative from Expidata.

What Should I do if I have experienced data loss?

Expidata Server Recovery recommend that the database server is stopped immediately, from here free advise should be sought to help maximise the chances of database and SQL recovery.

If you suspect a file system corruption or media degradation (bad sectors) it is important that the following is observed:

•    Stop the database server immediately!
•    File system utilities including Chkdsk, FSCK or similar should not be ran under any circumstances until a full sector by sector (bitwise) clone has been made – vendor provided tools can actually corrupt and destroy your data, seek professional advise first.  Even running these tools in read only mode can cause further problems if media degradation is the underlying cause.
•    If system backups cannot be taken, then attempt to backup the important files contained therein – if this process fails it could be indicitive of a disk, volume or array problem.
•    Make notes of the exact database software including versions.
•    Call for free technical support with your data loss problem.
