How to perform Hyper-V data recovery

Few words about MS Hyper-V

Hyper-V is one of the virtualization options for network segments, servers, client machines, and some other applications.

Hyper-V is based on the fact that it creates a virtual "parent partition" in Windows Server 2008, 2012, or 2016, and "child partitions" are spun off from this partition, and their number will be equal to the number of guest computers.

This hypervisor supports the simultaneous operation of 32- and 64-bit versions of guest OSs.

In this case, the VM can have 4 virtual disks up to 2040 GB each. Here, you can create snapshots of running virtual machines that contain configuration, system status, and other important data. Hyper-V has several versions with different parameters and supported OS, and one of them does not require additional licensing.

How to recover Hyper-V deleted or inaccessible files

To recover deleted files from Hyper-V by yourself, use DiskInternals RAID Recovery™.

IMPORTANT: if you don't succeed for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact Technical Support to get your files back.

RAID Recovery software works fine with NTFS, NTFS4, NTFS5, FAT, ReFS, UFS, HFS, ReiserFS, Ext4, etc. formatted drives, and restores any data from RAID 0-6, Hyper-V after ordinary accidental deletions, as well as after more serious issues. The application has a convenient wizard - it is especially useful if you are using the application for the first time. Here, you can use the filter to select specific file formats for searching - this will speed up the process or search for everything in a row. After searching for information, the Preview function will be available - you can see the contents of the file for free. After that, the issue of acquiring a license that gives access to export files is resolved.

Besides, if you have a license, you get the right to use technical support for 12 months.

Using the application is convenient and simple:

Download DiskInternals Partition Recovery and install it on your computer.

After the welcome window, the recovery wizard will start automatically. Select the disk and click Next.

Next, view the found files for free.

Another great feature of Partition Recovery is mounting a disk image. To check the integrity of the data inside the VHD - mount it as a disk image.

The last stage is the saving of found files. After purchasing a license, the recovery wizard will continue to work until the end. You only need to connect the media to the computer on which the recovered information will be saved.

If the deleted files were on Windows’ virtual machines, use NTFS Recovery; this is because NTFS is the most common file system for Windows.

This application purposefully works only with NTFS, NTFS4, and NTFS5, and is unsurpassed in its task. Supported versions are Windows 7, 8, and 10.
