File Recovery ToolsThe Data Is Usually Still There
When a file is corrupt, detached from its program or missing deleted records, the bytes often survive. Univik reads the source at a low level and rebuilds what ordinary software reports as lost.
The Approach
Most data loss falls into three cases. The file is damaged, cut off from its application or stripped of deleted rows. Each one runs through the same deep page level read.
Univik reads SQL Server MDF, NDF and BAK files at the page level, so a database recovers even when it will not attach. This is the core of Univik recovery and the deepest thing it does.
Corrupt and Detached Databases
Backups That Will Not Restore
Deleted and Dropped Objects
SQL Database Recovery digs past the live schema to bring back objects that were removed, not just files that are damaged.
An orphaned OST or an unreadable PST still holds your mail. Univik opens the file without Outlook or an Exchange profile and writes the messages to a format you can use, with folders and metadata intact.
Dedicated Recovery Tools
Sometimes the trouble is the drive or the tape, not the file. When the media itself has failed, a software tool cannot reach the data and the Univik services team steps in.
The Method
Every Univik recovery follows the same three moves.
1. Scan Deep
Univik reads the raw structure of the file, past the parts that normal software needs in order to open it.
2. Rebuild the Structure
Tables, folders, records and metadata are reassembled from the low level data that survived the damage.
3. Export Clean
The recovered data is written to a fresh file or database, leaving the damaged source untouched.
Help & Support
The basics of getting your data back with Univik.
Univik recovers data from corrupt, detached and deleted sources. Its strength is SQL Server databases, where it reads MDF, NDF and BAK files at the page level. It also pulls mail from orphaned OST and PST files.
Yes. Univik reads the database file directly at the page level, so it rebuilds tables and rows from an MDF that will not attach. For a backup, it reads BAK files the same way.
Yes. SQL Database Recovery looks past the current schema to find deleted records, dropped tables and dropped columns, then brings them back into a clean output.
Yes. An orphaned OST still holds every message. Univik opens it without Outlook or an Exchange profile and writes the mail to PST, EML or MBOX with folders intact.
Yes. Univik opens the source read only and never writes to it. All recovered data goes to new files, so you can run the recovery as many times as you need.
When a disk, tape or other media has failed, a file tool cannot help on its own. The Univik data recovery and tape recovery services handle that level of loss.
