DBF Recovery – exemplifying the importance of DBF repair software

By: Sergei Ovsannikov

Even if you are absolutely sure in the database application you have been using for years and have had absolutely no bugs with, nothing and nobody promises that it will not happen in the future. dbf files are everywhere these days – from internet and desktop applications to CRM and inventory software – simply because they are the most convenient and universal method of storing information of any kind. However, accidents happen regardless of our ability to control things – a sudden power failure, a hardware damage or an application crash can void your measures of precaution and damage your database and the information in it. The consequences of such a crash are even more severe if the accident takes place while records are being added and there is no secod copy at hand, which often occurs in dynamic development environments. If you have a fixed deadline, this may jeopardize the success of the whole project.
However, a dbf database crash is something you can eventually cope with – either with someone’s help or on your own. If help is not available from outside, you will need a solid knowledge of the DBF file format, experience of working with hex editors and hours (or days) of time, which is always an issue. But if you are always on a tight schedule and know well in advance that you simply won’t have time to delve into the internals of the DBF format in case of a sudden database corruption, you should consider using specialized software that will efficiently restore broken DBF files and recover your information. A great example of such an application is DBF Repair. It works with dbf files directly and uses its proprietary recovery engine to scan the structure of your dbf database, identify the problem and fix it. Unlike many competitors, it restores headers and data records at the same time. The repair is truly fast and 100% automated, which makes it possible to repair databases of any size (files over 2 gigabytes in size are supported) in a very short time. The application will be equally efficient in the hands of a database expert and a rookie – that’s how intuitive the interface is! All you need to do is drag and drop the corrupted database in DBF Recovery and wait until it finishes the recovery process. System administrators will appreciate the ability to use the batch mode and the advanced command line mode, which can facilitate complex recovery tasks. DBF Recovery works with DBF files of various formats - Clipper, Foxbase, FoxPro, Visual Foxpro, dBASE III/IV!
, Visual dBase Level 7 and others - and automatically detects their type, which minimizes your involvement in the recovery process. The software can be installed and used on all versions of Windows - from 95 to XP, Server 2003 and Vista.
Whatever your situation may be, DBF Recovery will give you the confidence you need so much in a rapidly changing business environment. This affordable and amazingly efficient solution will help you recover your important data and fix your dbf file in a wink of an eye just when you need it!
