What Professional Database Data Recovery Services Include
Database data recovery is a secure way to retrieve lost tables, rows, indexes, logs, and database objects without introducing new damage.
Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, MySQL, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, Microsoft Access
We recover data from Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, MySQL, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, and Microsoft Access, including complex schema and index issues.
Repair logical corruption
We repair logical corruption, rebuild damaged database structures, and restore services after crashes, failed updates, and software bugs.
Rebuild RAID arrays
We rebuild RAID arrays and handle NAS / SAN systems, including degraded sets, multiple disk failures, controller faults, and LUN mapping issues.
Chain of custody handling
We protect sensitive information with chain of custody handling, controlled access, and security focused workflows aligned with GDPR and regulated industry expectations.
Ransomware & accidental deletion
We support urgent incidents like ransomware encryption and accidental deletion, with options for remote assessment and secure return of recovered data.
Talk to a database recovery engineer
If you've lost access to mission-critical database data, our engineers are available 24/7 to review your situation and advise on next steps.
When Database Recovery Requires Professional or Lab-Based Intervention
Database data recovery is the best fit when you need qualified engineers who can recover data securely and keep your business moving. R3 Data Recovery assigns expert database recovery engineers who diagnose the cause, scope the recoverable data, and agree a recovery plan that matches your environment. You'll get clear communication, practical options, and outputs you can validate.
We handle enterprise level databases and storage because real incidents rarely sit in one place. Teams often face a failed RAID rebuild, a corrupted SQL Server MDF and LDF pair, a damaged Oracle control file, or a VM snapshot chain that broke during an outage. We work across physical damage and logical corruption, including file system index issues and virtual disk file faults in VMware and Hyper V estates.
We run compliant recovery services with documented procedures. We support ISO 27001 aligned security practices and audit ready handling for regulated industries. We safeguard privacy, protect against data exposure, and keep a full chain of custody from intake to return. Clients choose us because they want trusted, professional database data recovery with predictable governance, not improvised fixes.
Database Symptoms That Mean You Should Stop Using Built-In Repair Tools
Database data recovery is the right next step when your usual restore path fails or you can't trust the integrity of what you've restored.
SQL Server Won't Mount the Database
Database data recovery helps when Microsoft SQL Server reports suspect mode, recovery pending, torn pages, or log file mismatches. We diagnose MDF and LDF relationships, check transaction log continuity, and recover data into a clean target.
Oracle Opens with Errors or Missing Control Files
Database data recovery fits cases where Oracle Database throws ORA errors tied to datafiles, redo logs, control files, or dictionary corruption. We rebuild structures, recover objects, and restore consistent access to critical tables.
MySQL or PostgreSQL Shows Corruption After a Crash
Database data recovery addresses InnoDB issues, ibdata faults, binary log gaps, and PostgreSQL WAL or catalogue corruption. We recover data while keeping referential integrity checks in view.
RAID Arrays or NAS / SAN Volumes Fail
Database data recovery applies when RAID arrays drop disks, rebuilds fail, or SAN / NAS systems present the wrong LUNs. We verify RAID parameters, rebuild RAID safely, and recover database files from stable images.
Ransomware Encrypts Database Files or Backups
Database data recovery supports incident response when attackers encrypt database files, snapshots, or backup repositories. We isolate affected systems, analyse the damage, attempt safe recovery paths, and help restore operations without exposing sensitive information.
How Database Data Recovery Works: From Diagnosis to Final Verification
Database data recovery is a controlled process that protects evidence, preserves integrity, and keeps decision making clear.
- 1
Intake and Scoping
We capture symptoms, platform details, and failure history for your database and storage. We confirm Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle Database, MySQL, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, or Microsoft Access versions and hosting context.
- 2
Secure Imaging and Preservation
We clone media or capture forensic grade images from disks, RAID arrays, or virtual disks. We keep chain of custody records and restrict access to authorised staff.
- 3
Diagnosis and Recoverability Checks
We diagnose logical corruption, physical damage, and file system issues. We identify recoverable tables and rows, validate metadata, and map dependencies like logs, indexes, and transaction chains.
- 4
Repair, Rebuild, and Extraction
We repair corruption, rebuild RAID or database structures, and extract database data into a safe destination. We keep recovered objects organised for validation.
- 5
Validation and Delivery
We provide recovered data in the agreed format, support integrity checks, and coordinate restore steps into your target server or staging environment.
Database Platforms, Storage Systems, and Virtual Environments We Can Recover
Database data recovery relies on proven platforms and consistent handling across enterprise systems, storage, and virtualisation layers. We work with common database and infrastructure brands while keeping a secure recovery process, controlled access, and no data exposure workflows.
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Oracle Database
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- IBM DB2
- Microsoft Access
Supporting Infrastructure
- Microsoft Azure
- VMware
- Hyper V
- Microsoft SharePoint
- Microsoft Exchange
We also support related application estates such as Microsoft Exchange Server where database components or storage dependencies affect recovery. We record chain of custody events, maintain audit controls, and align handling with GDPR and regulated industry expectations.
