Sheffield has a proud industrial heritage, with modern strengths in advanced manufacturing, healthcare, engineering, and education. These sectors rely heavily on server infrastructures to keep sensitive data available and secure. A server failure—whether caused by RAID breakdowns, multiple disk crashes, or corrupted virtual machines—can quickly bring production or services to a halt.

With over 15 years of proven expertise, RecData provides professional Server Data Recovery in Sheffield, trusted by both large organisations and SMEs across South Yorkshire.

Common Server Failures in Sheffield

Our data recovery engineers handle a wide variety of server failures, including:

RAID rebuild errors on Dell, HP, and Lenovo servers.
Disk crashes affecting RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 10 arrays.
Corrupted VMware ESXi and Hyper-V datastores.
SQL Server and Oracle corruption in production systems.
Controller, backplane, and firmware issues.

All recovery is carried out in ISO-certified clean room labs, ensuring secure and compliant data handling.

RAID 1 – Trusted by Healthcare and Law Firms

RAID 1 mirroring is widely used by Sheffield’s law firms and healthcare providers for redundancy and reliability.

Case Study (Sheffield medical centre):
A RAID 1 HP ProLiant server storing patient management data became unreadable after simultaneous degradation of both mirrored drives. RecData stabilised the drives in the clean room and fully restored the patient database, allowing the clinic to continue operations without downtime.

RAID 5 – Backbone of Manufacturing and Engineering

Many of Sheffield’s advanced manufacturers use RAID 5 arrays to balance speed, redundancy, and capacity.

Case Study (Sheffield engineering company):
A Dell PowerEdge R720 with RAID 5 lost two drives during a rebuild, making production control data inaccessible. RecData engineers manually rebuilt the array and recovered the entire dataset, preventing costly delays in the supply chain.

Virtualisation – VMware & Hyper-V

Sheffield’s universities and tech startups rely heavily on virtualised environments to support flexible IT infrastructures.

Case Study (University research lab):
A VMware ESXi datastore became corrupted following a sudden power outage, leaving multiple virtual machines inaccessible. RecData engineers rebuilt the datastore and restored all VMs, ensuring that ongoing research projects were not compromised.

Database Recovery – SQL, Oracle & PostgreSQL

Databases are at the heart of education, healthcare, and industrial design in Sheffield.

Case Study (Sheffield steel supplier):
A RAID 10 database server running Microsoft SQL Server suffered a controller failure, leaving inventory and order systems offline. RecData extracted the raw data and rebuilt the database, allowing the business to resume normal operations within hours.
