Sysinfo MS SQL Database Recovery

Ans: The software is designed to repair MDF files affected by corruption caused by unexpected system shutdowns, SQL Server crashes, hardware failures, storage issues, virus attacks, and other logical database inconsistencies. The Advanced Recovery mode helps recover data from severely damaged databases.

Ans: No. The software performs recovery in a read-only manner and does not make changes to the original MDF file. The recovered data is saved separately, ensuring the source database remains unchanged throughout the recovery process.

Ans: SQL Server is not required to scan, recover, or preview the contents of an MDF file. However, if you choose to export the recovered data directly to a live SQL Server database, a running SQL Server instance is required.

Ans: The tool recovers major SQL Server database objects, including tables, records, views, stored procedures, functions, triggers, indexes, keys, rules, and deleted records, depending on the recoverable state of the database.

Ans: Yes. The software supports recovering data from compressed SQL Server tables, provided the compressed data remains recoverable within the damaged MDF file.

Ans: Yes. During recovery, the software preserves database schema elements, including foreign keys, relationships, constraints, and other structural information whenever they are available in the source database.

Ans: The software supports recovery of databases created in Microsoft SQL Server 2022, 2019, 2017, 2016, 2014, 2012, 2008, 2005, and SQL Server 2000 through the dedicated compatibility option.

Ans: After the recovery scan completes, the software provides a detailed preview of recovered database objects and records. This allows you to verify the recovered data before exporting it to the desired destination.

Ans: The tool has an "Export with only Schema" option. It creates the table structures, views, procedures, and all other schema objects but without the data rows. Useful when you need to rebuild the database structure cleanly.

Ans: Both. When saving to a live SQL Server, you can use Windows Authentication (uses your current Windows login) or Server Authentication (enter SQL Server username and password). Both methods include a test connection button to verify before proceeding.

Ans: Yes. It runs on all Windows operating systems, including Windows Server editions. You can install it on any machine and access MDF files from local drives or network locations accessible to that system.

Ans: Windows 11, 10, 8, 8.1, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, Windows Server 2003, 2008, and 2012. Both 32-bit and 64-bit systems are supported.

Ans: The software is available in multiple licensing plans, including Single User, Administrator, Technician, and Enterprise editions. Organizations can choose the license that best fits their deployment size and business requirements.

Ans: Yes. The free demo lets you scan any database, choose recovery modes, preview all recovered objects, and deleted records. The only limitation is that you cannot save/export. No time limit, so you can thoroughly evaluate.

Ans: The Test Database Connection may fail due to an incorrect server name, invalid login credentials, insufficient user permissions, or because the SQL Server service is not running. Verify the server details, authentication method, username, password, and database name, then ensure the SQL Server instance is accessible before testing the connection again.

Ans: The tool recovers everything it can and clearly reports what could not be recovered in the scan log. For extreme corruption cases, SysInfo offers a data recovery service where their engineers attempt recovery using advanced forensic methods.

Ans: Yes. The tool processes all database files locally and opens source files in read-only mode. It never modifies the original MDF files, and no database content is transmitted outside your environment. This makes it suitable for organizations with strict security, compliance, and confidentiality requirements.

Ans: The SysInfo MS SQL Database Recovery Tool is designed to recover data from MDF files affected by a wide range of SQL Server corruption issues. It supports recovery from common errors such as Error 605, 824, 825, 832, 2575, 2576, 3414, 5180, 7105, 8905, 8909, and 8998, as well as DBCC CHECKDB consistency errors and page-level database corruption. The software scans the damaged MDF file and attempts to recover the maximum possible database objects while preserving their original structure. The amount of recoverable data depends on the severity of the database corruption.

Ans: Yes. The tool is designed to recover data from databases affected by page-level corruption, including page header corruption and allocation page errors. Depending on the severity of the corruption, it attempts to recover the maximum possible data from the damaged MDF file.

Ans: Yes. The software supports recovery from SQL Server Error 2575 and Error 2576, which are related to Index Allocation Map (IAM) page corruption. It scans the damaged database and reconstructs recoverable database objects whenever possible.
