Hi,
I wrongly erased a company database with shift+delete and when i trie to recover the database with file recovering tools it cant even find the file.
Like the Murphy Law says... that was the DB that wasnt included in the backup schedules :(
My steps to delete the file:
1 - stop sql service
2 - renamed mdf file
3 - start sql service
4 shift+deleted the file
This is a virtualized server in Hyper-V
The files are in a diferent partition of the system
Once i saw the error, i used two programs to try to recover the file, Filescanvenger( witch never had let me down ) and recuva.
The file doesnt apear in both of them witch is strange since that drive is only used for the DB's and those are not updated in a while.
Does the MSSQL Server service tries or write something in the disk when it cant find the DB files and make the file unrecoverable?
Any ideas for what happened or to recover the datbase ( i havent mutch hope in that ).
Sincerely,
AM
