Published by Jacob Martin on November 16, 2013

Microsoft SharePoint is a multi-use platform which can be used for managing web portals, contents, websites, documents and social networking sites with business intelligence tooling processes. SharePoint Server is integrated in organizations to improve the level of data integrity and security by making the collaborative activities easy.

SharePoint Server data are generally enclosed in the MDF files. Corruption of SharePoint database files may interrupt users to access essential documents, files and folders. This would need users to have an appropriate backup copy of the database files or retrieve the damaged files with the help of few recovery tools. The requirement of SharePoint recovery may also occur due to lost libraries, bad backups, server down time, driver failures and accidental file deletions on Windows SharePoint services websites.

Reasons for SharePoint Database Corruption

•   Due to virus attack
• The application gets damaged
• The system gets closed while performing some important task
• Accidental deletion of SharePoint web portals
• Due to damage in structure of the database and in indexing.

Nevertheless, one does not have to worry if such issues occur related to SharePoint can be resolved by using third party software. You can use SharePoint Server Repair Tool. This is an excellent tool assists in recovering files, folders and tables from the corrupt or damaged MDF database files. This software provides two repairing modes for the inaccessible MDF files known as Raw Mode and Live SQL instance recovery mode. The Raw Mode is utilized when the MDF database files get corrupt, but MS SQL server and MS SharePoint server are still working. This tool has a very quick and simple procedure of scanning the database files and retrieving the lost items. It restores corrupt or deleted database and save the recorded MDF files at specific location on the system.

This mode rebuilds the files and tables by directly connecting them to the SQL server database. The second recovery mode given in SharePoint Server Recovery utility is the Live SQL instance recovery mode. This mode is used when the MS SharePoint server is down. In this particular mode, the damaged documents are taken out from the database and uploaded in a new account which is generated on the SharePoint server. When the SharePoint recovery process is completed, the resulted recovered files and folders are displayed in a tree like structure from where you can save them at desired locations with the help of full software cersion.
