Microsoft Exchange Server Data Recovery Microsoft Exchange server is a great asset in managing your own emails. Allowing you to manage an entire companies, or even multiple companies, emails in one place it is definitely the best choice for many IT professionals. Add the benefits of a cloud backup for extra redundancy and total control over how emails are accessed, managed, and stored at a mail box level, Microsoft Exchange is a very powerful tool set. Unfortunately though being such a mission critical tool, when things go wrong a quick solution is needed. Problems can also be compounded when the last backup did not back up the database store properly or the backup is a week or older with just too much current data to be lost if recovered. Fortunately there are a number of service providers that can assist with an Exchange Data Recovery service.Please note this guide is generally assuming most people are running Outlook (Mac or PC version) setup as a local Mailbox Exchange account and not IMAP or POP.While Exchange Server Is DownPlease note it is highly likely emails are delivered straight to your server and no other email provider. For the small expense it would be worth either setting up a new database store straight away and reconnecting clients to it (back up old OSTs first before changing profiles in Outlook), or setup a hosted pop email service with a catch all address and just point your MX records to this in the interim. This way you can deal with new emails however you wish once the original database is repaired or emails restored and you will only lose emails until the MX records propagate or the new Exchange database is up and collecting emails. Even if you don’t want to set the clients up you can still setup a new local Exchange database store to collect the usual incoming emails.Corrupted Microsoft Exchange StoreNormally you know something is wrong when you open Outlook get the repeated message of something along the lines of “Microsoft Exchange Server Cannot Be Contacted” or “Default Folder List Cannot Be Opened”. When a reboot of the server, troubleshooting of the network and PCs does not resolve the problem you can usually bet the issue is a damaged Exchange store. When this occurs the server cannot mount the database store in affect meaning at that time you have lost access to all of your emails, contacts, calendars, and other Exchange managed items. There are a number of ways to go about recovering this data and usually a good Exchange recovery service will offer two optionsQuick Email Data RecoveryUsing a client such as Outlook utilises what is called a local cached copy of your emails from the server or Outlook Storage Table. Basically to increase speed Outlook works off a local version of your emails and the computer syncs this with the server as it needs to. This saves the issue of having 100 people in an office all working direct from the server which would cause speed and drop out issues with all but the fastest and well managed networks. This also means that in the case of a failure of the Exchange server you can still access your emails from your Outlook or other email client. You can run OST to PST converter tools or you can even basically export your Outlook to a PST file, re-create your Exchange database and then import the PST files back in. The trouble with this is you may lose emails that may have been delivered to the server but not to your computer and also the local OST file may not contain all emails such as public email boxes and calendars.Complete Email File RecoveryThe most effective way and the quickest, is to look for a service that will extract from your physical damaged database store the individual mailboxes and provide these in PST format for Outlook or another preferred format for import back into your mail client. Generally it is better to prepare a new database and import through the individual mail clients though for a larger organisation it is worth seeing if you can get the database repaired and remount this back in to the Exchange server. Another advantage of this method is you will retrieve all emails the server had received right up until the store failed. If you had taken measures after the failure to capture the new emails coming in while the recovery was taking place you can now choose to import these into the repaired database store or if you had setup a whole new Exchange store then these emails will already be there as you import the recovered emails back.Microsoft Exchange Recovery SummaryAt all times it is best to remember that Exchange contains a lot of valuable information. When needing a recovery service choose carefully as you don’t want to think data has been lost forever by what one provider has told you when the data may be possibly recovered by another data recovery service centre. Additionally a good Exchange recovery provider should be able to give you an upfront free assessment of at least a general idea of what you can expect to be recovered.Please note that Exchange does also include it’s own recovery tools however we have found success with these to be quite limiting and time spent trying to resolve the issue with these tools is better spent getting a proven, practical solution from a proper Microsoft Exchange data recovery specialist.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 07, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) –Infinitely Virtual, a leading provider of virtual server cloud computing services for businesses, today announced it has added Microsoft’s SQL Server 2012 to its menu of servers from which customers can choose to meet their specific business needs.

In the first major upgrade since 2008, MS SQL Server 2012 introduces “Always On” data protection, and provides more rapid query performance and faster data discovery, among other key enhancements.

“Our customers are increasing their investments in the cloud and upgrades such as Microsoft SQL Server 2012 help us give them the most advanced hosting capability, with the latest enhancements in data management, business intelligence and protection,” said Adam Stern, founder and CEO, Infinitely Virtual.

“Microsoft has made impressive upgrades to its SQL Server and recognizes cloud computing requires the most secure data, at the same time that businesses want greater flexibility in how they share data across an enterprise,” Stern said. “Infinitely Virtual customers have the best of both services now — advanced server capability combined with our scalable hosting services and our intrusion detection and prevention system that provides the best security on the market today.”

Among the key features of SQL 2012:

— Always On: A new data recovery feature involving creating and configuring “availability groups” made up of databases. The groups function as a single unit, and have primary and secondary “replicas,” should the original unit fail. Customers get faster recovery time as a result.

— Faster Query Processing: The new data warehouse query acceleration feature is based on a new type of index called an xVelocity memory optimized columnstore. This new index, combined with enhanced query processing features, improves data warehouse query performance by hundreds to thousands of times, in some cases. It routinely delivers a tenfold speedup for a broad range of decision support queries.

— Programmability Enhancements: Upgrades in the Database Engine include FileTables, statistical semantic search, property-scoped full-text search and customizable proximity search, ad-hoc query paging, circular arc segment support for spatial types, support for sequence objects, default support for 15,000 partitions, and numerous improvements and additions to Transact-SQL.

— Rapid Data Discovery: Microsoft’s PowerView provides highly interactive, browser-based data exploration, visualization and presentation. Users can access and combine data from any source to create reports or analysis, and collaborate and share ideas and information using Microsoft’s PowerPivot for Microsoft Excel 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint 2010.

— Self-Service Business Intelligence: Microsoft’s BI Semantic Model enables across-the-organization sharing of business intelligence via IT dashboards, SharePoint integration, SQL Azure reporting, and customizable alerts about relevant data changes.

— Credible, Consistent Data: Microsoft’s Data Quality Services (DQS) is built into SQL Server 2012. DQS profiles, cleanses and matches data to improve data quality. SQL 2012 also has new tools in Integration Services (SSIS) to integrate, manage and cleanse disparate data sources.

This graphic novel by French illustrator David Revoy is a personal project made aside from his daily work as an illustrator.

“I tried to depict in it a difficult theme but a one witch is close to my heart : the way children are affected by a negative ambient at home, and social difficulties they can endure in consequences. I’m always shocked when I meet parents who send unconsciously their violence, pessimism or sadness to their children. This novel is not really a mental answer to it, just a heart reaction.”
