To recover the data, you need to first reinstall SQL Server, selecting the same instance name and data directory during the installation process. Then, restore the database using the backup file.

Here are the general steps for data recovery:

  1. Reinstall SQL Server with the same instance name and data directory selected.
  2. You can restore the database using backup files. You can either restore the backup file using SQL Server Management Studio or using T-SQL commands.
  3. If the restoration is successful, you can attempt to connect to the database and verify if the data has been recovered.

Please note that if the backup file is unavailable or damaged, it may not be possible to fully recover the data. Therefore, before uninstalling SQL Server, be sure to backup your databases and store the backup file in a secure location.
