Bristol has established itself as one of the UK’s leading centres for aerospace, engineering, creative industries, and higher education. Servers are critical to daily operations in these sectors, powering research projects, production systems, and data-driven services.

When a server fails—due to RAID degradation, multiple disk crashes, or corrupted virtualisation environments—downtime can bring business to a standstill. With more than 15 years of expertise, RecData delivers trusted Server Data Recovery in Bristol, supporting both businesses and institutions with fast and secure recovery solutions.

Common Server Failures in Bristol

Our specialists regularly handle:

RAID rebuild failures in Dell and HP servers.
Multiple disk failures in RAID 1, 5, or 10 arrays.
Corrupted VMware ESXi and Hyper-V datastores.
SQL Server and Oracle database corruption.
File system damage caused by power outages or hardware faults.

All work is performed in ISO-certified clean rooms, guaranteeing maximum data safety.

RAID 1 – Common in Legal and Medical Practices

RAID 1 mirroring is widely used by Bristol’s law firms and medical providers for redundancy and resilience.

Case Study (Bristol healthcare clinic):
A RAID 1 server containing patient management data failed after simultaneous read errors on both disks. RecData engineers stabilised the media and fully recovered the data, enabling the clinic to continue operations without patient disruption.

RAID 5 – Essential for Aerospace and Education

Bristol’s aerospace firms and universities often rely on RAID 5 arrays to balance capacity and performance.

Case Study (Bristol aerospace supplier):
An HP ProLiant DL380 RAID 5 system failed after two drives dropped out during a rebuild, leaving critical production data inaccessible. RecData manually reconstructed the RAID and recovered all datasets, preventing costly delays in component delivery.

Virtualised Environments – VMware & Hyper-V

Bristol’s creative industries and tech startups depend on virtualisation for cost-effective IT infrastructure.

Case Study (Bristol creative agency):
A VMware ESXi cluster became inaccessible after datastore corruption, placing multiple client projects at risk. RecData rebuilt the VMFS datastore and restored all affected VMs, ensuring business continuity.

Database Recovery – SQL, Oracle & PostgreSQL

Bristol’s universities and engineering firms make extensive use of SQL and PostgreSQL databases.

Case Study (University of Bristol research team):
A RAID 10 database server hosting scientific datasets failed after a controller issue corrupted the file system. RecData engineers extracted and rebuilt the database, preserving years of research.

Honestly thought my hard drive was gone for good. These guys brought it back like magic. Total lifesavers.

Super friendly team and they actually explain what’s going on. Got all my files back and I’m over the moon.

Brilliant service. They treated my data like it was their own and delivered ahead of schedule.

From start to finish, they were professional and reassuring. All my work is back safe and sound
