Hello everyone,
Please any possibility of recovering lost business from damaged computer where server is hosted. No recent external backup.
That depends on what the damage is.
For example, if the system no longer boots up, the administration data need not yet be damaged.
What is the damage?

Try to recover the hard-drive and connect to another computer as second drive and see if you can access the data on it. Otherwise you may need to seek further support from a computer technician. There is nothing Manager can do then advise as in many other posts by many before to have external backups including some on the Cloud and follow a strict back-up protocol. I wish you all the best with recovering your data.
Restore from the server backup.
If your server does not have a backup it has not been managed in accordance with very basic professional standards. And if this is the case in the future; I strongly recommend you use the cloud version or employ professional IT support. There are many other things that need similar management to overt other disasters.
In addition if you have run a server yourself and you do not have a backup all other recovery options are poor.
- find and protect any Manager backups you have not matter how old
- take the hard disk to a professional data recovery provider
- re-enter your accounting data from the original source
- think very carefully before attempting data recovery your self. You may loose what data you have which would be a problems if you do not like your other opions.

My investigation shows the system wasn’t damaged
but was formated.
Can the reinstalling of the version (24.1) recoverv the business?
I deleted the 3 of the 4 identical posts. Note that the post will be read by us. Installing the Manager application is separate from installing businesses and their data. You can send the hard drive to a computer technician that may be able to recover the data from the formatted drive. Otherwise your data is lost.
This once more serves as a sad reminder to everyone to have good back-up protocols in place, including on (1) the systems hard-drive, (2) a removable disk and (3) in the cloud. Depending on the intensity of using Manager the frequency of making these backups should considered. When using desktop and/or server edition regular complete system backups that are stored as described would help also.
That’s a oxymoron.
You really need someone onsite with real IT knowledge because without that you are likely to destroy any remaining data.
Please get your IT professional to look at
Read my answer. Manager does not keep anyone’s business data, that is the users responsibility. Otherwise each download of the application from https://www.manager.io/download would contain all the users’ businesses!
As @Patch and I advise is hire a specialist who can try to recover the data from the formatted drive. The links where these can be found are provided by @Patch but as he mentions to have any chance of success for such expert recovery you will need to immediately stop using that drive, remove it from your system and send to the specialist and hope that the data can be recovered and is not destroyed.
May I not that similar to the data you may have lost from Office programs, such as documents, spreadsheets, videos, audio, etc. are obviously also lost and none of these applications would be responsible for the content you developed and were supposed to safely backup.
