VMware Data Recovery
VMware-based environments are a backbone for many enterprise systems, and when access to virtual machines is lost, business continuity is immediately at risk. We bring specialized expertise to VMware recovery scenarios – restoring data from corrupted VMs, failed snapshots, damaged VMFS partitions, and host-level malfunctions. We approach each case with precision and awareness of virtualization-specific structures, ensuring smooth reintegration into your existing infrastructure without compromising stability or performance.

Inside VMware Failures and Recovery
Loss of access to virtual machines can destabilize even the most carefully managed virtual infrastructure. We focus on VMware-specific failures – whether you’re facing damaged VMFS volumes, inaccessible VMs, or erratic virtualization behavior. Our goal is to restore your environment without disrupting its core structure, maintaining continuity and integrity at every step.
What Can Go Wrong in a VMware Setup
Virtual platforms aren’t immune to failure. A corrupted VMDK file or an interrupted snapshot can snowball into a full datastore lockout. Host crashes, unplanned shutdowns, or storage mismatches often leave environments unstable or fragmented. In tightly coupled clusters, even a minor fault can ripple through multiple machines, leaving systems inaccessible or degraded.
How We Recover VMware Data
Every case begins with diagnostics designed to observe, not alter, your data. From there, we move through tailored processes: rebuilding broken virtual disk chains, extracting data from corrupted VMFS volumes, or restoring lost configuration files. No automation, no guesswork – just direct work with the virtual structure as it is. The end result: operational data that fits back into your ecosystem without manual patchwork.
We understand how VMware systems behave under stress. From provisioning logic to storage hierarchies, we use that knowledge to reverse failure paths, isolate damage, and reconstruct usable systems that won’t require reinstallation or rollback.
Data Handling and Access Control
VMware environments often carry layered systems – not just files, but services, dependencies, and credentials. That’s why our recovery workflow includes strict access governance. We apply traceable handling, encrypted infrastructure, and if needed, custom NDAs. You stay informed from start to finish.
Platform Support
We support all current and legacy VMware deployments: standalone servers, clustered hosts, thin- or thick-provisioned disks, and all VMFS versions in production use. If you’re dealing with broken snapshots, split metadata, or virtual machines stuck mid-state – we don’t back away. We treat the failure as a temporary condition, not a disaster.
When virtualization breaks, we focus on what can be saved. We identify what’s still functional, recover what’s missing, and hand back an environment ready to resume.

Your Recovery Journey: What to Expect
Step 1: Getting in Touch
If you’ve lost data or your device is acting strange, the first thing to do is reach out. Our team is here to help 24/7. We’ll ask a few questions to understand what happened and let you know if recovery is possible.
Step 2: Sending Us Your Device
We’ll explain how to safely pack and ship your device to us. As soon as we receive it – whether it’s a hard drive, SSD, USB, RAID, or memory card – we’ll run tests to find out what went wrong. This might be physical damage, file system errors, or a virus like ransomware.
Step 3: Recovery Plan and Your OK
Once we know what’s going on, we’ll send you a summary that includes what data we expect to recover, how long it’ll take, and the cost. We only move forward if you give the go-ahead. And remember – if we can’t recover your data, you don’t pay.
Step 4: Recovering Your Files
Our engineers use pro-grade tools (and cleanrooms when needed) to recover your files safely. Whether it’s rebuilding a RAID, fixing firmware, or recovering deleted files – we’ll do what’s needed to bring your data back without risk.
Step 5: Reviewing and Getting Your Data
After recovery, you’ll get a full list of the files we recovered. Once you confirm everything looks good, we’ll send the data back on an external drive, through the cloud, or whatever works best for you. We can also return your original device.
Step 6: Help After Recovery
We’ll walk you through what we recovered and offer tips to avoid future problems. Need help setting up backups or keeping your files safe? We’ve got you. Our support doesn’t end when the recovery does.
VMware Data Recovery: FAQ
What causes can lead to data loss in VMware?
The main causes of data loss include:
- Hardware or power failures
- Hypervisor errors
- VMFS file system corruption
- Improper snapshots management
- Virus attacks or malware
- Human error (user error)
What are snapshots and can they cause data loss?
Snapshots are the saved states of a virtual machine at a particular point in time. Improper snapshot management, such as accumulating snapshots without deleting them or errors in merging them, can lead to data corruption and loss of access to the virtual machine.
How do I prevent data loss in a VMware virtualized environment?
Recommended:
- Back up virtual machines on a regular basis
- Monitor the use of snapshots and delete them in a timely manner
- Update VMware software to the latest versions
- Use reliable antivirus solutions
- Ensure stable power supply and protect equipment from failures
Is it possible to recover data if VMFS partition became inaccessible after ESXi upgrade?
Yes, in some cases it is possible to recover data from an inaccessible VMFS partition. ESXi upgrades can cause incompatibility or corruption of storage metadata. In such situations, it is important not to write to the problematic disk and contact specialists who can use specialized tools to analyze and restore the VMFS partition structure, extracting the necessary data.
