UFS Explorer RAID Recovery

UFS Explorer RAID Recovery (Standard Recovery for RAID) was designed as an extension to UFS Explorer Standard Recovery (Classic) software to expand capabilities for reconstruction of complex RAID-systems and recovery of lost and deleted data from these systems.

In addition to the set of functions contained in UFS Explorer Standard Recovery this software includes embedded RAID-Builder tool that organizes smooth operations on RAID-storages of any level. UFS Explorer RAID Recovery allows you to build, edit and save virtual RAID configuration. Advanced software techniques enable building RAID-system not only from a set of physical disks but from disk images as well. Moreover, the program has embedded VIM-Import tool allowing to import Runtime Software virtual image files (.vim) for further operations. Increased software convenience provides for effortless editing of RAID configurations. UFS Explorer RAID Recovery enables determining and setting such RAID-parameters as start sector, drive order, block size etc. and modifying created configuration, if necessary. In addition, the software has embedded hexadecimal viewer for brief data analysis on partitions and disks that is essential for creating correct RAID configuration. You can save created RAID configuration to any selected destination as a file and later download it for further operations. The software manages automatic load of certain standard RAID configuration types.

Besides complex RAID-systems UFS Explorer RAID Recovery is applicable to other storages as well. Additionally, you can recover lost files from your PC, USB flash drive, memory card of your photo/video camera, external hard drive, virtual machine or disk image file with this tool. The software ensures safety of your data by working in safe read-only mode. This program doesn't require any prior technical skills and thus this product is perfect for both home and professional RAID reconstruction and data recovery tasks.

Key features

Immediate data access for consistent file systems
The software allows to access data on all the supported file systems, including file systems on disk images, virtual disks, RAID storages etc. without the need of prior scan.

Support of disk images and virtual disks
The software allows to open disk images and virtual disks produced by virtual machines of the leading virtualization software vendors (including VMware Player, VMware Workstation, Microsoft Virtual PC, Microsoft Hyper-V, Parallels Desktop etc.). The software operates virtual disks and disk image files exactly in a way as if they were physical disks and allows to access or recover lost data from disk images and virtual disks.

Embedded RAID recovery
UFS Explorer RAID Recovery supports virtual reconstruction of RAID systems after controller or RAID metadata failure. The software virtually builds RAID and reads its files and folders as if it was a real RAID storage. The software easily handles both simple RAID configurations (such as stripe set - RAID level 0, Span, Mirror - RAID level 1) and complex RAID such as RAID 5 and RAID 6. RAID-on-RAID feature allows to build RAID configurations of high complexity such as RAID 50, RAID 60 etc.

Perfect for NAS recovery
Embedded RAID Builder is an ideal tool for popular NAS recovery. UFS Explorer recognizes software RAID metadata on NAS drives and assists in virtual RAID reconstruction automatically specifying drives order, RAID level, stripe size and so on. The software does not require separate license for RAID module and thus allows to evaluate entire data recovery process using trial software copy. Among supported NAS models are the most popular devices such as Buffalo Technology (TeraStation, LinkStation), Iomega, Synology, LaCie, Intel etc.

Comprehensive files recovery
A set of tools implemented in the software provides solutions for most practical data loss cases. Depending on certain situation the software either simply reads or conducts detailed analysis of file system metadata to find lost files. Even if the metadata is lost permanently, the software can guess file allocation basing on the file system specifics, other files allocations and file content analysis to produce the best possible data recovery result.

Recovery after file system format
UFS Explorer RAID Recovery allows you to analyze the storage for previous file system formats and recover necessary file system type. In case of file system damage the software detects all possible file systems for you to decide which to recover.
