Edinburgh, the financial and administrative capital of Scotland, is home to major banks, government institutions, universities, and healthcare providers. Servers in these sectors are critical, ensuring uninterrupted access to sensitive and large-scale datasets.

When a server fails—due to RAID degradation, disk crashes, or virtualisation errors—the impact can be immediate and severe. With more than 15 years of expertise, RecData provides trusted Server Data Recovery in Edinburgh, delivering solutions for both enterprises and public institutions.

Common Server Failures in Edinburgh

Our engineers are highly experienced in recovering from:

RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 failures.
Disk crashes in Dell and HP servers.
VMware ESXi datastore corruption.
SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL corruption.
File system errors caused by hardware faults or power loss.

All recovery processes are carried out in ISO-certified clean room laboratories, ensuring secure and compliant handling.

RAID 1 – Essential in Legal and Healthcare Systems

RAID 1 mirroring is commonly used by law firms and healthcare institutions in Edinburgh for redundancy.

Case Study (Edinburgh law chambers):
A RAID 1 server holding sensitive case files became inaccessible when both mirrored drives failed after a firmware issue. RecData stabilised the drives and restored the full dataset, ensuring case preparation could continue without disruption.

RAID 5 – Popular in Finance and Education

RAID 5 arrays are widely deployed across financial institutions and universities in Edinburgh.

Case Study (Edinburgh financial firm):
A RAID 5 server hosted on a Dell PowerEdge R720 lost two drives during a rebuild, putting client trading records at risk. RecData manually rebuilt the RAID and recovered the data, safeguarding the company’s compliance reporting.

Virtualised Environments – VMware & Hyper-V

Edinburgh’s IT infrastructure heavily relies on VMware and Hyper-V.

Case Study (Scottish Government department):
A VMware ESXi host failed after datastore corruption, affecting multiple departmental applications. RecData engineers rebuilt the VMFS volume and restored critical VMs, ensuring public services were not interrupted.

Database Recovery – SQL, Oracle & PostgreSQL

Databases are crucial for universities, healthcare, and financial services.

Case Study (University of Edinburgh research project):
A RAID 10 server supporting a PostgreSQL research database suffered a controller failure. RecData engineers extracted the raw data and delivered a verified database export, preserving vital research datasets.
