Database repair

The Contact Group will make every effort to recover data from a corrupt database. It is recognised however that this may not always be possible. This service requires that the database be emailed or sent to The Contact Group on a portable disk. The Contact Group will then evaluate the database and determine the viability of repair. On completion of the evaluation a quote on the cost of repair will be provided. On written acceptance of the quote, work on the database will commence. The evaluation process takes time and as such is a chargeable service.

Database repair limitations

The Contact Group cannot guarantee the amount of data, if any, that can be recovered. Some database structure and/or record information may not be recoverable. If the The Contact Group technician determines that there is significant data loss, you’ll be contacted immediately. At that time, you’ll have the option to cancel the job.

As each database repair is different, The Contact Group cannot guarantee the amount of time spent on the repair, if the The Contact Group technician determines that the cost to repair the database is higher than the quoted cost, you will be contacted immediately. At which time you may cancel the job.

If the Database Repair Service is cancelled after work has begun, you will be charged for the time taken to repair the database to that point in time.

The Database Repair service is only available for

  • ACT! Databases running on Microsoft SQL server
  • ACT! Version 6 – 2.0 for windows databases

The database must be either

  • from a supported version of ACT!
  • upgraded to a supported version of ACT!
