R-Studio
Vendor: R-tools Technology
Purpose: File recovery tools with full RAID recovery
Description
R-Studio is a powerful set of tools for recovering files on Windows or Linux systems. It
works on local and network disks even when partitions have been formatted, damaged,
or deleted. One of its strengths is RAID recovery: it treats hardware RAIDs like ordinary
drives and volumes, and its Unformat tool recovers data that have been erased from
software RAIDs. Other products from the same vendor include the inexpensive
R-Undelete, a file undelete solution for Microsoft’s FAT (File Allocation Table) and
NTFS (New Technology File System) file systems.
R-Studio can handle FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5, and EXT2FS file systems.
It can recover data even if FDISK or other disk utilities have been run, if a virus
has invaded, if the FAT has been damaged or the Master Boot Record destroyed.
R-Studio Emergency, a constituent part of the R-Studio package, can be run in an emergency
on Intel-based Macintosh, Linux, and UNIX computers/servers from a CD.
Comments
Whether you simply want to undelete a few files or recover data from a seriously damaged
hard disk, perhaps even a RAID array, R-Studio can help. It has a clear, Explorerstyle
interface, gives full details about every file it recovers, and does a good job of
recovering pictures. Several independent reviewers and users have tested it and praised
it very highly, especially when it has rescued them from serious data-loss situations.
