Virtualization Data Recovery for VMware, Hyper-V & More

Reliable Hyper-V Data Recovery Services

We provide several options to suit our clients’ data recovery needs, including in-lab, remote, and onsite services. In cases where the physical storage is not accessible via standard commands, our professional data recovery services are called upon to repair the physical storage and then rebuild the virtual environment to regain access to the data. The following failure types require input from our data recovery engineers.

What To Do When a Hyper-V System Fails?

Microsoft Hyper-V allows IT admins to create and manage virtual machines (VMs) with multiple operating systems (including Linux and Windows) running on one system. Since administrators can configure the virtual machines with different amounts of shared memory, hard disk space, and network connectivity, a single physical failure can take down the entire infrastructure. When a failure occurs, you need to quickly identify and address the problems. Sometimes, that requires seeking professional help. Start with the following steps:

• Check the power supply, cables, and test the network.
• Start the Hyper-V Manager and launch the Virtual Machine console to check if the system is online.
• Locate and examine the event logs in the virtual system.
• Update the latest drives on the Hyper-V host, ensure you are running the right version of the Hyper-V role, and install the latest operating system patches.
• Check the hardware for any issues, like extreme heat or cold temperatures, virtual memory performance, CPU processor, and data storage.
• If your system is still offline, it is time to contact a professional data recovery services company.

Professional VMware Data Recovery Services

Our certified engineers perform VMware data recovery on all servers and virtualized systems, including vSphere, ESXi, Fusion, vSAN, and more. We also understand what it takes to recover data from virtual machines (VMs) in cross-platform and large-scale environments. Our advanced hardware, forensic-grade software, and unique expertise means we can extract VMDK files and their metadata. Data loss is often not an option for a failed VM. Trust the most reliable data recovery service with more virtual machine and RAID experience than other companies.

What To Do When a VMware System Fails?

Failed virtual systems need immediate attention from qualified VMware data recovery experts, especially when virtual hard disk issues prevent access to mission-critical data.

• Check the virtual server log files and the VMWare event logs for what may have caused the failure. In some cases, an administrator can identify the root cause of the problem.
• Check the system resources. Low resources may cause your system to crash. Ensure the memory, hard drive space, and CPU utilization are within operational limits for your application.
• Restart. If the issue is minor, a simple restart may fix the issue.

Note any error messages. If your system uses email or digital alerts, get a copy of the exact error codes. Our data recovery engineers can use this information to evaluate your case more accurately. We intimately understand what data loss inside a virtual environment means to our customers and offer 24x7 emergency data recovery service when you need the data back immediately. Under this option, our teams recover many virtual systems in less than a day, drastically limiting your downtime after an unexpected disaster. Contact us to discuss your situation.
