Our Comprehensive Database Recovery Services: Mastering All Major Platforms
Data loss doesn’t care what kind of system you use; it hits everything, from old-school SQL servers to the newer NoSQL setups. Our professional database recovery services are based on deep, specialized knowledge of all the main database technologies used by big companies in Sharjah and all over the UAE. Whether your problem is a damaged file header, a broken transaction log, or the server itself is physically broken, we have the exact tools and knowledge for focused database recovery and repair.
Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) Recovery and Repair
SQL Server problems are super common and often tricky for people to fix. You might see file damage (MDF/NDF corruption), bad areas stopping the database from loading, or conflicting system tables. Our engineers use special ways to look at the raw computer code of the files, skipping the bad parts of the log chain to rebuild your tables and procedures. After we recover the SQL database, we run extensive checks to make sure the data is totally consistent and ready to go back live right away.
Oracle Database Recovery (ORCL) Expertise
Oracle systems usually support the biggest financial and government operations, so they demand the very best experts. Our team is brilliant at complicated Oracle recovery, fixing problems like corrupted control files, missing data files (DBF), and tricky Redo Log issues. Whether your issue needs a complete point-in-time recovery from partial backups or we need to manually fix corruption at the block level, we have the precise skills to get Oracle’s complex system back to working perfectly.
MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Open-Source Database Repair
Lots of modern e-commerce sites and business apps run on MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL. Problems here often include broken InnoDB tables, index crashes, or serious transaction log problems. Our database recovery service is more than just running simple fixes. We manually rebuild the table structures and do a deep look at the binary log files to make sure the data is put back together perfectly, saving companies from potentially huge, irreversible downtime.
Enterprise RAID, Server, and Storage Area Network (SAN) Recovery
Databases rarely break on their own; they usually live on fancy multi-disk systems like RAID 5 or huge SAN setups. When a critical database recovery case involves multiple hard drives failing in a RAID array, our skill is combining physical fixing (in the Cleanroom) with virtual reconstruction. We recover each broken disk, figure out the original setup, and then digitally rebuild the server volume before starting the logical database fixing. We successfully got back data where normal IT teams would just say the whole system is lost, sadly.
Our Transparent 4-Step Process for Database Recovery and Repair
We want to make sure you’re not stressed out. Our proven way of doing things means you know what’s happening and you are in charge from the time you call our database recovery company until you get your verified files back safely.
Step 1: Emergency Contact & Crisis Triage
The second you realize your database is down, call our 24/7 Emergency Database Recovery line. Our experts immediately find out what’s wrong (error codes, weird sounds, when the last backup was) and what system you have (SQL, Oracle, RAID level). Most importantly, we give you immediate, simple advice-the key is to turn off the host system right away to stop more damage. Then, we arrange secure, free pickup of your media across Sharjah and the whole UAE.
Step 2: Free, Non-Destructive Diagnostic & Fixed Quote
Once your media reaches our high-security lab, we log it, and a senior engineer starts a safe check-up right away. This deep look finds the exact issue-is it messed-up files, physical damage needing the Class 100 Cleanroom, or an electronic problem (SSD firmware)? Then, we give you a detailed report, how likely we are to succeed, and the best part: a guaranteed, fixed-price quotation. That price is final. You just need to say yes to Step 3.
Step 3: Secure Recovery, Repair, and Reconstruction
When you approve, our special database recovery and repair work begins. This is where we shine! For physically broken drives, engineers work in the certified Cleanroom to fix mechanical parts and make a perfect copy of the damaged drive. For messed-up database files, we use special tools in a dedicated lab to rebuild the data integrity, focusing on the core tables and logs. We always do the fixing on the copy, so your original media is protected and safe from any further issues.
Step 4: Data Verification, Secure Delivery, and Success Confirmation
After the database files are rebuilt and fixed, we do tons of checks, including the native database integrity checks (like SQL’s DBCC). We send you a list of files or give you secure remote access to confirm everything looks good and works well. The recovered files are then encrypted and put onto a new drive (your own or one we provide). You only pay after you check and verify the successful recovery-that’s how we keep our guarantee!
Issues We Fix: The Spectrum of Critical Database Recovery Failures
Database failure can be anything from a little glitch to a total hardware nightmare. Our critical database recovery expertise handles it all, making sure no crisis is too big for us.
The Complexities of Logical Corruption and Software Failure
This is when the files themselves are messed up, even if the hardware is okay.
- Corrupt Transaction Logs: These logs are vital! When they are corrupted, the database won’t load, or the data can become inconsistent. We manually look at the logs and put the pieces back together.
- Database Header and System Table Corruption: If the main structures that tell the computer what the database is (the metadata) get corrupted, the whole thing becomes invisible. We manually fix these core structures.
- Accidental Deletion or Formatting: If someone accidentally deletes a whole database or table, we use special deep recovery tricks to find the raw data before it gets overwritten by new stuff.
- Ransomware and Cyber-Attack Damage: Databases targeted by hackers often get encrypted or partially compromised. We focus on getting the database back to a time before the attack and securely handling those encrypted files using forensic methods.
Physical & Electronic Failures Requiring Cleanroom Intervention
These are the most serious problems where the hardware itself is broken, making database recovery service much, much harder.
- Hard Drive (HDD) Mechanical Failure: If you hear those scary clicking or grinding sounds, it means mechanical failure. We must open the drive inside our Class 100 Cleanroom to swap out damaged heads or motors before we can safely read the data.
- Solid State Drive (SSD) Electronic Failure: Newer SSDs often fail silently due to a broken controller chip or bad firmware corruption. This fix is purely electronic, often needing us to take the memory chips off (BGA chip-off) and carefully reassemble the data based on how that specific controller works.
- Server Component Failure: Power surges or component failure on the server can cause a massive system crash, damaging many drives in a RAID system at once. We handle the delicate hardware fixing and the complex digital array rebuild all at the same time.
Costs and Pricing Insight for Professional Database Recovery in the UAE
During a data crisis, knowing the financial commitment is key. Our pricing for professional database recovery is very transparent, giving you a guaranteed fixed cost based purely on how technically difficult the fix is, not on how much the data is worth to you.
The Fixed-Price Guarantee: No Surprises, Only Results
After our initial free check-up (Step 2), we give you a written price. This price is the final cost, promised. You won’t find extra hidden fees for parts or engineering time-the quote is the final word. This kind of honesty is how our database recovery company operates.
Key Factors Determining the Cost of Database Recovery Service
The final price for your database recovery service depends mainly on the level of technical effort required:
- Level 1: Simple Logical Corruption (Lowest Cost): This covers simple file system errors, files that are corrupted but still accessible, or accidental deletion, where we don’t need to touch the hardware.
- Level 2: Intermediate Electronic/Minor Physical: This involves tricky file corruption, complex firmware corruption in SSDs, or single drive physical damage needing a small amount of Cleanroom work. Requires extensive use of our specialized tools.
- Level 3: Complex Physical/Critical Enterprise Systems (Highest Cost): This is for huge damage, like a major head crash or liquid damage needing intense Class 100 Cleanroom time, or a very complex RAID array recovery involving many failed drives. Servers always fall here because of the huge expertise and time required.
Investment vs. Loss: The True Value of Critical Database Recovery
Yes, the cost for a Level 3 critical database recovery can be high, but think of it this way: it’s a tiny amount compared to the disaster of losing the data forever. That could mean huge fines, lost contracts, non-stop downtime, and a ruined reputation. Our service is really an investment in keeping your business going strong.
Critical Advice: Maximizing Success During an Emergency Database Recovery
What you do right after a database crash is the most important thing that decides if we can save your files or not. Please, don’t try to fix it yourself!
The Golden Rule: Power Down the System Immediately
If your database server is acting weird-making strange noises, repeatedly restarting, or just refusing to load-you must shut down the host system and unplug it right now. If you keep using it, even for a few minutes, it can turn a fixable problem into permanent, unrecoverable data loss. In a database recovery emergency, stopping the system fast is the only priority.
Avoid These Data-Killing Mistakes
- DO NOT Attempt Software Repair: Trying to run normal recovery tools on a damaged database can easily write new data over the lost files, making the damage permanent.
- DO NOT Restart the Server Repeatedly: Forcing the server to load a corrupt database risks overwriting crucial files or damaging unstable hardware even more.
- DO NOT Try to Swap Disks from a RAID Array: If you mishandle the failed drives from a RAID system, you can completely ruin the system’s setup information, making the array impossible to rebuild, even for the experts.
- DO NOT Open the Hard Drive: Opening a hard drive outside of a certified Class 100 Cleanroom lets dust and dirt onto the internal parts, causing instant, permanent data loss.
If you’re in a database recovery emergency in Sharjah or anywhere in the UAE, the smartest thing you can do is stop everything and call the experts at Lifeguard Data Recovery right away.

Case Study 1: Financial Services Firm – SQL Server Ransomware Attack
- Scenario: A big financial company in Dubai got hit by a terrible ransomware attack. Their main MS SQL Server (a RAID 5 setup) was completely encrypted, stopping all trading. Even their backups were partially broken.
- Lifeguard Intervention: This was a top-level critical database recovery job. We immediately started the urgent database recovery plan, finishing the check-up in 4 hours. Our team first got the raw data back from the broken RAID array. Then, our SQL specialists used special tools to manually fix the database’s header, bypassing the encryption, and rebuilding the database to a point just before the attack happened.
- Result: We successfully saved and restored 99.8% of the crucial trading and client data within 48 hours, stopping a massive financial disaster and loss of operations.
Case Study 2: Government Utility – Oracle Database Corruption
- Scenario: A major utility company in Sharjah had a sudden power spike that severely corrupted their main Oracle database (running on a SAN). The database just wouldn’t start, showing serious control file errors. Their own technicians couldn’t fix it.
- Lifeguard Intervention: Knowing this was an emergency database recovery for a public service, our Oracle experts took charge. We safely bypassed the normal startup, manually putting in a clean control file and using our knowledge of Oracle’s log system to roll back the database to the last good point before the power failure.
- Result: The entire Oracle database, including all its complex structures, was successfully fixed and brought back online. 100% of the data was verified and returned, meaning service to the public continued without a hitch.
