Recovery and Repair
When technology breaks, restore service first, then fix the cause.
Gotekky investigates damaged websites, servers, databases and email environments, restores service where possible and identifies what must change before the environment can be trusted again.
Recovery situations
Start by identifying what is broken and what can still be trusted
The recovery path depends on access, backup quality, data condition and whether the original environment is safe to reuse.
Infrastructure recovery
Compromised or damaged server environments.
- Incident investigation
- Service restoration
- Configuration repair
- Compromised infrastructure
Data and email recovery
Repair or reconstruct affected data and communication services.
- Corrupted databases
- Email recovery
- DNS reconstruction
- Backup restore validation
Incident path
Recovery is a sequence, not a single restore button
Moving too quickly can overwrite useful evidence, reintroduce malware or restore data into an environment that is still unsafe.
Stabilize before normal operation resumes
The exact sequence changes by incident, but the questions remain consistent: what is affected, what is trustworthy, what can be restored and what must be corrected before reopening.
01ContainStop active damage and protect access where possible.
02PreserveProtect current data, logs and available backups before making destructive changes.
03DiagnoseIdentify the failure, compromise or dependency that prevents safe operation.
04RestoreRecover the cleanest viable service and validate the important paths.
05StabilizePatch, document and monitor the environment so the same problem is less likely to return.
Data trustCan the files and database be trusted?
Recent does not always mean clean. Recovery may need a known good point rather than the newest copy.
Access trustAre credentials and administrator paths safe?
Compromised accounts, old keys and unknown access paths may need to be replaced.
Platform trustIs the original environment worth reusing?
Sometimes rebuilding on a clean destination is safer than repairing every unknown on the old server.
Is a website, server or mail service down or compromised?
Send us the symptoms, what changed, what access remains and whether a usable backup exists. We can determine the safest first action before more changes are made.
After service returns
The repair is not complete until the next failure is less dangerous
Recovery work should leave the environment with clearer ownership and fewer unknowns.
What happened
Document the most likely cause and what evidence supports it.
- Incident findings
- Affected services
- Known remaining uncertainty
What changed
Record the repairs and security changes made during recovery.
- Files and configuration restored
- Credentials or access changed
- Patches and protections added
What comes next
Decide whether monitoring, backups or ongoing management should change.
- Backup improvements
- Website Care
- Infrastructure Management
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can every compromised website be recovered?
No recovery outcome can be guaranteed before the available backups, access and data condition are understood. The first step is determining what can be trusted and restored.
Do you only repair Gotekky hosted systems?
No. Recovery work can be performed on supported external environments when appropriate access is available.
What happens after recovery?
Once stable, the environment can move into Website Care or Infrastructure Management if you want Gotekky to take ongoing responsibility.
Should I restore the newest backup immediately?
Not always. If compromise or corruption predates the newest backup, restoring it can reproduce the problem. Backup age, integrity and the incident timeline should be considered together.
