SQL repair

Hi there, as far as I remember, I have already said, that I'm system administrator in a large company. My name is Damian and now I have nothing to do (because everything works fine) and can share my experience with you. There are a great number of services, that should be monitored by our team, email, proxy, server-side firewalls and other useful s#it. MS SQL Server is one of the most important platforms, that should be saved for all costs. It keeps the data, that is used by all teams: accountants, developers, testers and leaders. This week our MS SQL server got out of order. Since its backup copy was too old, we were unable to restore it from scratch. What will you do in this case? You can unplug hard disks and contact the nearest data recovery service, but, it takes a lot of time. Try Recovery Toolbox for SQL Server, this software will quickly parse the input MS SQL files, if they still can be seen by your file system.
