When a SQL Server database becomes corrupted and no recent backup is available, recovery should focus on restoring as much accessible database information as possible. Avoid making unnecessary changes to the damaged MDF or NDF files, and create a copy before attempting recovery. A suitable recovery method should be able to examine the damaged database and recover important objects such as tables, views, indexes, functions, and stored procedures.

The Aryson SQL Database Recovery Software provides Standard and Advanced Recovery modes for repairing corrupted SQL database files. It can recover data from damaged MDF and NDF files and allows users to preview the recovered database information before saving it. The software can also merge MDF and NDF files when required. This makes it useful when a conventional backup is unavailable and the database files themselves are the primary source for recovery.

If you need to recover corrupted SQL database data without a backup, load the affected MDF or NDF file, select the appropriate recovery mode, and review the recovered objects before saving them. Recovered data can be saved to an SQL Server database or exported as MS SQL Server-compatible scripts containing schema and data. Individual table records can also be saved as CSV, providing additional options for checking and preserving recovered information.
