Backup is a method of storing a copy of your precious data on an external storage media like hard drive, tape, CD, DVD and USB drives. The backup is taken to ensure the complete security of data, so that you can restore your original data in case if any disaster happens.
But sometimes you may also fail to restore the data from backup especially in case of MS SQL Server, if the backup is not taken properly. Sometimes when you try to access your .mdf or master database file and a .ldf or log data file from your backup, you may fail to do it. It happens because you haven’t run sp_detach_db (Detaches a database from the server and runs UPDATE STATISTICS on all of the tables before detaching) file before taking backup and it hasn’t backed up the log file.
This problem can be resolved by recreating the log file in some cases. It can be done using the stored procedure named sp_attach_single_file_db (Attaches a database containing only one data file to current server). But in some cases, it shows the following error message:
“Server: Msg 823, Level 24, State 6, Line 1
I/O error 38(Reached end of file.) Detected during read at offset 0000000000000000 in file 'F:NewTESTDB_Log.LDF'.
After this error message, the SQL Server stops responding and the data of the .mdf file becomes inaccessible. It can create catastrophic situations for you and can lead to the nightmare of data loss.
These situations are not as much catastrophic as you think. The data is still present on your server hard drive and you can get them back with the help of data recovery software. These data recovery software are known as SQL Database recovery software.
SQL database recovery software are specially designed to recover and restore the lost database files (.mdf files). These software can recover lost .mdf and other SQL Server database files in all possible situations of data loss. These server database recovery software are very easy to use and you can perform recovery without having any prior technical knowledge.
