When your whole virtual setup gets a problem, you don’t need some small software tool you found online. You need real, assured experts who fix servers for a living.Here at Lifeguard Data Recovery, we only work on complicated virtual problems.

getting your virtual machine data back fast, safely, and secretly from all the VMFS versions-v3, v5, and v6. You should trust the certified engineers here who keep succeeding even when those general data recovery programs give up.

Why Choose Us: The Lifeguard Data Recovery Difference in Sharjah

When your Virtual Machine File System is having a bad day, picking the right partner is everything. It’s the only difference between getting everything back and losing it forever. Our service is actually built just for the big, important, and very busy companies in the UAE.

This is what makes us different from regular IT shops or people who just sell those cheap software apps. We don’t just run a program and hope; we carefully rebuild your whole digital environment from the ground up.Because we are here, in the local area, we totally get how urgent everything is and what special things businesses in Sharjah and the UAE need.

We aren’t some far-away, international company just selling you a key for a program. No, we are your actual local team of skilled engineers, ready to come to you or work in our secure lab. This local know-how means things move faster, and you get a service that feels much more personal, you know? From the moment we securely pick up your broken hard drive until we give you back your recovered VMware VMFS data recovery files, we handle every part precisely and we know the local procedures.

Plus, Lifeguard Data Recovery makes sure we follow the strictest international rules. Our team of certified RAID and virtual machine specialists have worked together for decades, focusing only on super complicated data loss things like fixing corrupted VMFS datastore recovery.

This focus means that whether your problem is just a small digital bug, a physical disk failure inside a big server, or a tricky technical mistake, our fix comes from our own proven ways we’ve developed over many years helping the most serious clients here. Knowing all this stuff inside and out is why we can promise: maximum recovery with the least amount of risk.

Specifically, we can help when:

VMDK files are broken, deleted, or you can’t open them: We perform a kind of digital surgery to pull out and rebuild those virtual hard disk files the ones that hold all your real machine data.

VMFS volumes are failing, formatted, or just gone: This is often the worst problem. We use special investigation methods to scan the disks deeply and rebuild the digital structure needed for a complete VMFS volume recovery.

The main RAID server has failed: Since many VMFS datastores sit on top of a complicated RAID system (like RAID 5, 6, or 10), we have to do a full RAID recovery first. We carefully rebuild the server’s settings before even starting the VMFS work. Doing it in these two stages is super important for big company systems.

It doesn’t matter how big your datastore is-small ones or those massive 64TB VMFS partitions-our custom way of working means we can handle anything.

When a typical VMFS volume recovery tool just can’t understand the damage, our knowledge, both physical and digital, provides the real answer. We get back all the related VM files, including those snapshot files, configuration files, and the important VMDKs, so your virtual machine can come back online working perfectly.

Process / How It Works: Your Step-by-Step Path to Data Recovery

We think getting your important virtual data back should be simple, secure, and not stressful at all. From the first phone call, Lifeguard Data Recovery uses a clear, five-step plan that’s built on security and keeping you informed. This organized way of working makes sure every VMFS partition recovery case is handled super safely and efficiently.

Emergency Consultation and Secure Collection

The very first and most important thing to do is turn off the power to the broken system right away to stop any new data from being written. Call our 24/7 emergency team right now. We will quickly arrange to safely and fully insured pick up your broken server parts (Hard Drives, SSDs, or big SAN/NAS boxes) from your office in Sharjah or anywhere in the UAE, and we do this part for free. This quick action step is important for fast service.

Free In-Depth Forensic Diagnosis

When your media arrives at our UAE lab, we log it straight away and move it into our secure room. Our specialized engineers do a full check-up without touching anything. This includes looking at the physical disks (sometimes inside our super clean ISO Class 5 Cleanroom, if needed) and checking the status of the VMFS partition recovery. We figure out exactly why it failed-maybe a physical crash, a controller problem, or a VMFS technical mistake—and we tell you how likely it is we can recover files from VMFS. Then we give you a clear price that won’t change, and how long it might take. Remember our promise: If we can’t get the files back, you don’t pay us for the work. That’s our No Data, No Fee Guarantee.

High-Security Data Reconstruction

Once you say okay to the price, our dedicated server experts start the hard work of rebuilding everything. This stage often involves:

Physically repairing any broken drives in the cleanroom.

Putting the main RAID array structure back together.

Using our own secret scanning tools to get around the broken parts and pull out the raw data blocks.

Re-indexing the corrupted VMFS file system to find all the missing VMDK and virtual machine files. This part is the key to a good VMFS file recovery.

We do all this work on copies of your data, meaning your original broken media is never changed, keeping it as safe as possible.

Data Verification and Quality Assurance

Before we give back anything, we give you a list of all the recovered files or a special secure link so you can check and make sure the data is complete and correct. This checking step is a must-do for important company systems. Once you tell us the files look good, we move on to sending them back to you.

Secure Data Delivery

We transfer your recovered data onto a brand new, encrypted storage drive, making sure it stays completely private while we transport it. We offer secure delivery right back to your office in Sharjah or anywhere in the UAE, finishing the job safely and quickly.

Issues We Fix: Data Loss Scenarios Requiring Expert VMFS Recovery

Since virtual systems are so complex, a data loss disaster can start from so many different places-from just one part failing to the whole server being totally messed up. Unlike fixing a simple hard drive, VMware VMFS data recovery needs us to look at the problem from many angles. We are experts at fixing those really tough problems that make standard software just useless.

Casas trophic RAID and Hardware Failures

Many VMFS volumes live on big, complicated RAID servers. If just two or more disks break at the same time (which often happens in RAID 5 or 6 setups), the system breaks past the point where it can fix itself. We are the RAID Recovery experts, rebuilding the server’s setup, manually correcting any digital mistakes, and fixing tricky failures like:

Losing the main RAID settings entirely.

Multiple disks failing, making the whole server “dead.”

The server’s controller card breaking and messing up all the disks’ technical files.

VMFS Volume and Metadata Corruption

The VMFS file system, which looks after the space for your VMDK files, easily gets corrupted if the server crashes, power suddenly goes off, or when you try to make the volume bigger and it fails. This usually makes the datastore look “missing” or “not formatted” to the server. Our VMFS volume recovery techniques ignore the broken parts completely, just digging out the huge VMDK files directly from the raw disk parts. This is a very important difference from software that needs the file system’s main files to be mostly okay.

Accidental Deletion and Formatting

This is a very common, but very serious, human mistake: accidentally deleting a whole datastore or a crucial VMDK file. If no new information has been written over that space, our technical detectives can successfully recover files from VMFS, often restoring the whole file structure perfectly. Even if someone tried to install a new system after the entire VMFS partition recovery was erased, our advanced tools can still sometimes pull out little bits of the valuable data.

ESXi/vSphere Host Issues and Updates

When system updates fail, patches don’t work, or the main server boot files get corrupted, the datastore can become invisible. This is a digital problem that our team fixes by going straight to the physical media, completely bypassing the broken hypervisor system to do the necessary VMFS datastore recovery. We can fix complicated issues like:

Broken main boot files or corrupted technical data.

New software updates that don’t work with your old server parts.

Problems with names and signatures that stop the volume from opening.

Costs / Pricing Insight: Transparent Investment in Your Business Continuity

In the serious world of VMFS file recovery, guessing prices or having secret fees is just wrong. At Lifeguard Data Recovery, our prices are completely honest and we promise to put the client first. We know data loss is an unexpected problem, so we try hard to give the most clear and fair price here in the UAE.

Unlike those competitors who try to trick you with prices or make you buy their expensive, not-so-good VMFS volume recovery tool software, we give you a fixed-price quote after we check things out first. This price covers everything, absolutely no hidden charges. The cost mostly depends on how hard the failure is—is it just a digital bug, or is there major physical damage (which needs the cleanroom and replacement parts) and how complicated is the server’s RAID setup.

Our No-Risk Pricing Promise:

Free Diagnosis: Checking what broke and if we can fix it is always free from us.

Fixed Quote: Once we tell you the price, that’s the final amount you pay, guaranteed.

No Data, No Fee: If our certified engineers can’t successfully recover files from VMFS that match your list, then you don’t owe us the service fee. This policy makes sure your company doesn’t lose money on a failure.

Emergency Service Option: For urgent, critical VMware VMFS data recovery needs, we have a priority service where our engineers work for you 24/7, making sure you get back to business as fast as possible.

We see our service not just as paying a bill, but as an important, insured step for keeping your virtual systems running safely for many years to come.

Immediate Steps After VMFS Data Loss

As the VMFS file recovery experts, the best advice we can give you is: Stay calm, and whatever you do, don’t try to save anything new to the disk. The things you do right after data loss are the most important part of getting a full recovery. Follow these critical steps to give your VMFS datastore recovery the best chance.

1. Power Down Immediately

If a datastore has disappeared, says “not formatted,” or the main server crashed, switch off the physical server power immediately. If you keep running the server, the operating system or other programs might write new information to the disk space. This could permanently erase the important VMFS information or the actual VMDK files you need to recover files from VMFS.

2. Do Not Attempt Rescan or Re-signature

Trying to rescan the storage or attempting to “re-signature” a lost VMFS volume using the server’s tools can really confuse the system forever and cause more digital damage. This could make a successful VMFS partition recovery much harder, even for us professionals.

3. Avoid Software Tools for Complex Failures

Sure, a basic VMFS volume recovery tool might be okay for finding one deleted file on a perfectly healthy drive, but they are absolutely useless when dealing with broken servers, physical damage, or corrupted main system files. These programs might damage the volume even more if you don’t use them right, especially if the hardware is unstable. For any serious company data, use a professional service, don’t try to fix it yourself.

4. Note the Failure Sequence

Write down exactly what happened: Did the server make funny noises? Did the power go out right before the problem? Did someone try to fix the RAID or make the volume bigger? This information is really important for our engineers to figure out the problem quickly and choose the best VMware VMFS data recovery plan.

5. Contact Lifeguard Data Recovery

Call us right away. Our team will guide you on how to safely pack the media and organize the emergency pick-up. Time is everything, and letting a professional handle it is always the safest path for important company data.

Case Studies: Proven Success in Complex VMFS Datastore Recovery

We measure our success by how fast and completely we restore critical virtual systems for our UAE clients. These real-life stories show how good we are at VMware VMFS data recovery.

Case Study 1: Major Financial Institution – Dubai

The Problem: A very expensive storage system used for their main server had two problems at once (a power surge and two broken drives) in a RAID 6 setup. This made the main VMFS datastore disappear. The bank lost access to its main app server, which caused a huge stop in service.

The Hard Part: The RAID setup was super complicated, and the VMFS technical files were badly broken because the power went off so fast. Normal VMFS volume recovery tool software couldn’t even see the volume’s structure.

The Lifeguard Solution: Our RAID experts first successfully rebuilt the 16-disk RAID 6 server using special imaging tools. Then, our VMFS engineers used our own deep-level tools to find and re-index the corrupted VMFS file system. We successfully recovered files from VMFS, including all 23 of their most important VMDK files, getting back 100% of the data in just 48 hours. Wow, very fast.

Case Study 2: Leading Construction Firm – Sharjah

An administrator accidentally formatted the main storage area holding the VMFS volumeduring server cleaning, completely erasing the whole VMFS partition recovery structure.

The formatting erased the critical VMFS header. The company needed their CAD and ERP virtual machines back immediately.

We quickly made copies of the physical drives in our easily accessible Sharjah lab and used a special technique to look at the disk bit-by-bit to get around the erased partition list.

Case Study 3: Government Entity – Abu Dhabi

The Problem: A high-security server had a hardware failure that couldn’t be fixed.The Hard Part: We couldn’t just move the data or read it with standard tools because of the special, locked-down security hardware.

The Lifeguard Solution: Our engineers created a custom way to talk to the unique server hardware.All the important data was successfully recovered, checked, and returned on an encrypted drive, keeping their information totally secret.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about VMFS File Recovery

How long does a typical VMFS file recovery take?

The time it takes for VMFS file recovery really depends on what went wrong. Simple digital problems (like accidental deleting) can sometimes be fixed in just 2-3 working days. Harder cases involving broken hardware, big server arrays, or deep VMFS digital damage might need 5-10 working days. For those super critical problems, we have an Emergency Service that works on your case 24/7 to make it faster.

Is VMFS partition recovery possible after a full datastore format?

Yes, often it is possible! When a VMFS volume is formatted, the file system map is erased, but the real data (VMDK files) usually stays on the disk until new things are written over it. Our VMFS partition recoveryprocess uses advanced tools to search for the unique patterns of those large VMDK files directly on the disk, skipping the lost file system information to recover files from VMFS.

Can I try using a VMFS volume recovery tool myself first?

While a simple VMFS volume recovery tool might be okay for finding just one file you recently deleted on a healthy server, we strongly advise against using home-use software on important, physically damaged, or corrupted server systems. Using the wrong tool can accidentally erase more data, making it harder or even impossible for professional VMware VMFS data recovery later. For company data, getting a professional check is the only safe first step.

What is the difference between VMFS datastore recovery and VMDK file recovery?

means we focus on restoring the whole virtual file system (the VMFS structure) so the server can see and open the volume again. is all about finding, fixing, and pulling out those individual virtual disk files (VMDKs) that hold the computer’s operating system and user data, often when the main datastore is broken or deleted. We do both things, sometimes at the same time, to get you the best result.

What media do you accept for VMFS data recovery?

We accept all types of media that can hold a VMFS datastore, like SAS/SATA hard drives, SSDs, Fibre Channel LUNs from big storage systems (SANs), and complex server arrays (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, etc.) from all the big server brands (Dell, HP, EMC, NetApp, and more).
