Manchester is one of the UK’s leading hubs for fintech, digital startups, data centres, and professional services. These organisations depend on powerful server infrastructures to handle sensitive client information, financial transactions, and digital operations. A server failure caused by RAID corruption, drive crashes, or virtualisation issues can lead to downtime, compliance problems, and reputational risks.

With more than 15 years of proven expertise, RecData delivers professional Server Data Recovery in Manchester, ensuring critical systems and data are restored quickly and securely.

Common Server Failures in Manchester

RecData engineers regularly deal with:

RAID rebuild failures in Dell, HP, and IBM enterprise servers.
Simultaneous drive failures in RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 arrays.
Corrupted VMware ESXi and Hyper-V datastores.
SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL database corruption.
Controller or firmware faults disrupting system access.

All work is carried out in ISO-certified clean rooms, guaranteeing safe recovery of sensitive data.

RAID 1 – Reliable but Not Unbreakable

RAID 1 mirroring is widely used by Manchester’s law firms and consultancies, where data redundancy is essential.

Case Study (RAID 1 law firm server):
A legal office experienced simultaneous failures on both mirrored drives of its RAID 1 server, making client case files inaccessible. RecData engineers repaired the drives and restored the documents, allowing the firm to meet legal deadlines.

RAID 5 – Popular in Fintech and Digital Agencies

RAID 5 arrays are common in Manchester’s fintech startups and creative agencies due to their balance of capacity and speed.

Case Study (RAID 5 fintech startup):
A fintech company’s RAID 5 server failed mid-rebuild when two drives dropped offline, putting financial transaction data at risk. RecData reconstructed the array and recovered the full dataset, ensuring compliance and business continuity.

Virtualisation – VMware & Hyper-V

Manchester’s growing tech ecosystem relies heavily on virtualised environments for scalability.

Case Study (VMware datastore at a tech company):
A sudden power issue corrupted a VMware ESXi datastore, leaving multiple VMs inaccessible. RecData rebuilt the datastore and restored the virtual machines, helping the company avoid significant downtime.

Database Recovery – SQL, Oracle & PostgreSQL

Databases power many of Manchester’s financial services, accounting firms, and data centres.

Case Study (SQL server at an accounting firm):
An accounting firm’s RAID 10 SQL server was hit by a controller fault, corrupting essential client records. RecData engineers successfully recovered the database, enabling the firm to continue meeting compliance requirements.
