Data recovery after file system damage |
File system damage may occur due to many reasons. Among them are unexpected system shutdown, hardware failure, software malfunction or user mistake. File system damage usually means some files or even entire file system become inaccessible.
The file system specific repair utilities may fix basic file system consistency problems, however, in more complex situations it's recommended to use data recovery software.
The data recovery editions of UFS Explorer products require minimum information virtually to rebuild damaged file system and allow copying data to safe location with file names and directory structure. The reconstruction feature includes most popular OS and file systems:
- Microsoft Windows:
FAT and NTFS files systems, including FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, old NTFS and newer NTFS5;
- Apple Mac OS:
modern HFS+/HFSX;

NAS recovery after failure or data loss |
UFS Explorer products support data recovery from most popular Network Attached Storage devices of most popular vendors.
The most common reasons for data loss on NAS are file deletion, NAS re-configuration, hardware failure or failed software installation or firmware update.
UFS Explorer products can help in case of data loss on single- and multi-disk NAS:
- Buffalo Technologies:
LinkStation and TeraStation with XFS file system;
- Iomega:
CtorCenter produtcs;
- LaCie, Intel:
Net 'Space'/'Disk' products;
- Adaptec:
Snap Servers with both SnapOS (custom UFS file system) and Guardian OS (XFS file system);
- Promise Technologies:
SamrtStor products with Ext3 file system;
- Most other NAS:
with XFS, Ext3, UFS file systems.

The features set includes RAID virtual reconstruction after hardware failure, damaged file system recovery, deleted files recovery, degraded RAID recovery after hard disk failure ( for RAID1, RAID5, RAID10).
The key products specially intended for NAS recovery are the following:

Complex RAID systems recovery |
The RAID systems become very popular in both business and personal market segment. Specific data distribution techniques among several physical devices allow adding storage redundancy and speed-up files access.
However, RAID systems still may fail due to software or hardware malfunction or component failure. Data recovery from failed RAID system requires one more step: RAID virtual reconstruction.
UFS Explorer products can help with data recovery from RAID systems and support virtual reconstruction of most common RAID configurations:
- RAID0:
including stripe set over RAID (RAID1+0, RAID 50 etc.);
- RAID3:
and similar RAID (RAID4, RAID7) with byte-level data stripping support;
- RAID5:
with most common parity distributions and delayed parity support;
- RAID6:
including standard parity distributions and specific to ARECA RAID controllers.

Mobile data recovery |
Data loss may take place on portable or mobile devices as well. The modern, advanced operating systems of mobile devices allow to run many applications and store a great deal of informations on the device. However, there is a risk of data loss due to accidental file deletion or software malfunctions.
In case it's impossible to run desktop data recovery software in a specific situation (desktop/laptop computer is not available or mobile storage is not removable), you can use Raise Data Recovery for Mobile product for data recovery.
The currently supported OS are different editions of Windows Mobile (.NET, 5.x, 6.x) whereas supported file systems are FAT and FAT32 (including 'Transact' editions).
The need to run data recovery software on a mobile device may appear in the event of deleted files recovery from photo cameras and other digital devices that use compatible memory cards.
