Exchange Server Data Recovery and Repair

Providing, fast reliable solutions for crashed or damaged Exchange database files.

Here at Data Recovery Aid we are sympathetic to the devastating impact an Exchange Server crash can wreak on business's ability to communicate. All email communications come to an grinding stop, lost contact lists, calendars, task lists and message history make it nearly impossible to stay in contact with current clients and/or associates. Not to mention the inability to contact new clients or send any information through the Exchange server at all. These combined things can cause a rapid breakdown in communication of your company and the resulting loss of revenue can be staggering. Often we lose focus on how important email communication is to our business until we are faced with a complete loss of functionality

A few guidelines to follow when faced with any Exchange data loss scenario.

Exercise extreme caution when attempting to recovery Exchange data stores, be sure you backup all .EDB, .STM and .LDF files to a separate external location prior to running “Eseutil”. This will ensure you do not overwrite data needed for restoration if you are unable to repair the problem yourself. Often the "eseutil" utility can further damage critical data and without a complete backup of the database recovery becomes much more difficult.

Likewise do not attempt to reinstall an Exchange sever until you have properly backup of all critical database files first, Always play it safe, backup to a separate location and confirm the data is safely on another form of media.

Do not restore an old backup of your exchange data without first copying off the damaged database to an external location. Many data corruption issues can run for months without manifesting in the form of an error. There is no benefit in restoring an older database if this file is also damaged. You first goal should be to protect your most current database.

If in doubt contact Data Recovery Aid and discuss with one of our Techs your best plan of action prior to making any recovery attempts, unlike many data recovery companies, we will consult with you and try to help you recover on your own. Only if no other option is available will we recommend sending your data in for recovery.
