Best Practices for SQL Server Database Recovery After a Crash

  1. Experiencing a database crash can be daunting, but following these best practices can help you effectively recover your SQL Server database and minimize data loss.

  1. Stop All SQL Server Services: Immediately stop all SQL Server services. This will prevent any further damage to the database.

  2. Check SQL Server Error Logs: Check the SQL Server error logs for information about the cause of the crash and the steps you need to take to recover the database.

  3. Restore the Database from a Backup: Restore the database from a recent backup. This is the most common way to recover from a crash. If you have a recent backup of the database, you can restore it to a new instance of SQL Server and then bring the database back online.

  4. Use the SQL Server Recovery Assistant: The SQL Server Recovery Assistant is a tool that can help you recover a damaged or corrupt database. It can be used to repair the database structure, restore data from lost or damaged files, and recover data from deleted or truncated tables.

  5. Seek Expert Assistance: If you are not comfortable recovering the database yourself, you can contact a Microsoft SQL Server expert for assistance.
