Using Data Recovery Software
When we face the frustrating reality of deleted server data, data recovery software becomes our go-to solution. This software supports numerous file systems—like NTFS and HFS+—and recovers data from hard drives, SSDs, and USB sticks. When data is lost due to issues like partition damage or virus attacks, these tools excel. By analyzing the situation and stopping all write operations, we create a backup before scanning for lost files. With powerful options like GetDataBack Pro or EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, we can restore our critical data, preserving file names and directory structures for ideal recovery. Additionally, many of these tools offer a trial version that allows users to test their recovery capabilities before committing to a purchase. It's essential to understand that immediate cessation of drive use is recommended to prevent data overwriting, which significantly influences recovery success.
Restore Using Previous Versions
If we need to recover deleted files, using the "Restore previous versions" feature can be a quick and effective solution, provided we've the necessary prerequisites in place. Initially, we must verify that File History is enabled and the Volume Shadow Copy Service is active. Once we've located the folder containing the deleted files, we can right-click and access the "Properties" to find the "Previous Versions" tab. By selecting the desired version and clicking "Restore," we can recover our data efficiently. Additionally, many users report a high recovery rate when using this method, making it a reliable option. If VSS is enabled, tools like ShadowExplorer can also assist in accessing shadow copies for restoration. For more complex scenarios, consider reaching out to Rubery's Premier Data Recovery Center for professional assistance.

After exploring how to restore files using previous versions, we can turn our attention to recovering data from backups, a vital safety net for any server environment. We'll start by launching "Windows Server Backup" and selecting "Local Backup." Next, we specify the backup location—either "This server" or "Another server." It's important to remember that Windows Server Backup supports block-level backups, ensuring efficient restoration of data. Utilizing advanced recovery techniques can further enhance the success of the restoration process. We'll choose the backup date and recovery type, confirming we select the correct restoration settings. Ultimately, we'll monitor the recovery progress closely.

Handling Logical and Physical Data Recovery
While we may hope to avoid data loss, it's important to understand how to handle both logical and physical data recovery effectively.
For logical recovery, we can employ software tools like Recoverit and TestDisk to scan for recoverable data, employing deep scan features and preview functions. System utilities, such as CHKDSK, help repair file systems.
