Data recovery from VM based systems is possible by accessing the data directly from the container file or extracting the container so it can be rebuilt in another machine. We are able to recover data from most VM based systems including.

• VM-Ware
• ESXi/VMFS
• Parallels
• Virtual Box
• Virtual PC
• KVM

We can recover from almost all other VM software running the following operating or file systems.

• Windows and Windows Server
• Linux
• UNIX
• MAC

Our services are guaranteed and if it is not possible to recover the critical data that you need, there is no charge.

A virtual machine or VM is where you have an operating system stored on a file-system within a separate operating system. For example, you may have a Windows server computer that runs your business accounts software and at the same time a Linux email server, a UNIX Web-server for your website and e-commerce and a separate Windows file server.

A VM could be installed on the same computer to run one or more processes. For example, you may need a Linux machine to run your Web-server so you could install a Linux distribution on the machine that Runs Linux in parallel with the Windows server. This is called 'virtualisation' so you now have two operating systems running at the same time on the same computer.

Why use VM ? It can be more economical, efficient and everything is in one place. It can make backups simpler and quicker as everything is on the same computer.

The drawbacks are that when a machine fails, then you have lost at least two functions of your business, in the case above a Windows Server, your e-commerce Web-server and file-server are all down at the same time to top it all, your email server is also down so you cant notify anyone about the problems.
