Cristiano writes "hi everybody.
A customer of mine has had a disk "crash" few days ago.
I wrote for him a dwh application and
of course the backup was not working...


now some "hardware guys" said that it is possible to recover most of
the files.


what I need to restore would be:
1- the sql server db
2- the sql server dts and jobs
3- the analysis service cube and dimensions


to do so is it enough for me to have:
1- the .mdf and .ldf files
2- the master.mdl /.ldf file
3- the .odb file and .dim* and .role .map ... files


right?
is it enough to recover everything?
if it is so, what would be the right processes to recover everything? "

Your best bet is to cough-up $250 and let PSS help you. It'll be cheaper for you and the client than trying to resolve all of this through newsgroups/forums.

Next time, make sure they have backups.
