we can recover data from:

  • any virtualized system: including VMware ESX, vSAN, and Virtual Volumes (VVols) (VMDK files), Microsoft Hyper-V (VHD, VHDX, and AVHDX files), Citrix Xen/XenServer, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV), Oracle VM/VirtualBox, Linux KVM, Fusion for Mac, VMware Workstation

  • any data loss situation: whether due to hardware, software failure or human error, including accidental deletion, corruption, malware, or other types of damage 

  • any time: our data recovery engineers are available 24/7 because data loss doesn’t happen only during regular business hours

common virtualized systems data problems we can solve:

  • failed disks or damaged RAIDs

  • deleted LUNs/Volumes

  • formatted or overwritten hosts, datastores, volumes, and VMs

  • corrupt datastores or host volumes (VMFS, NTFS, ReFS, XFS, etc.)

  • corrupted virtual disk files (VMDK, VHD, VHDX, etc.)

  • corrupted guest file systems

  • deleted VMs or snapshots

  • deleted files from within a VM

signs of failing virtual machine:

Signs of a failing virtual machine include frequent or sudden system crashes, persistent error messages, and unresponsiveness during boot-up. You may also notice corrupted files, slow performance, unusual behavior, and failed backups. Additionally, unexpected shutdowns or restarts, as well as disk space issues, network connectivity problems, and consistently high resource utilization, can indicate underlying issues.

what should you do?

If you notice signs of a failing virtual machine, immediately back up critical data to prevent potential data loss. Assess the situation by reviewing system logs, checking for error messages, and examining resource allocation (CPU, memory, storage). Run diagnostics to identify hardware or software issues, and ensure the VM’s operating system and applications are up to date. If possible, take a snapshot of the VM before making changes, and try restarting to resolve temporary issues. If the problem persists, consult with IT professionals or data recovery specialists to avoid further data loss and restore functionality. Time is critical, and the likelihood of a successful data recovery is higher when no prior recovery attempts have been made.
