Overview

UFS Explorer Technician is designed for our most demanding business customers facing the most complex tasks and rare data storage technologies. We have included the widest list of supported file systems in this product, even compared to products from other vendors. This also applies to the list of supported data storage systems.

When starting work on a task, you need to create disk images to prevent data corruption or hardware failure. UFS Explorer Technician not only allows you to quickly and accurately create disk images thanks to the presence of a multi-pass disk imager, but also supports hardware write blockers from various vendors that guarantee data integrity and protect it from damage. The program also supports the creation of "full" disk images for non-standard sector sizes, which allows you to apply post-processing of extended sector data (for example, for NetAPP). It is also possible to create images with integrity control (E01 format) for further work with them as digital evidence.

When the images are ready for processing, the program allows you to work with them in the same way as with the original disks: assemble data volumes, search for lost data, etc. Disk images created by programs from the UFS Explorer family as well as programs from other manufacturers, including competitors, are supported.

The program supports a large number of tools for assembling volumes created by various technologies: from simple volumes or RAID volumes to multi-tier, thin-provisioned volumes. When the required tool is not available, it can be added through the plugin mechanism. At the same time, it is not necessary that the plugin was developed by us: a simple and universal interaction mechanism allows you to develop your own plugins.

When the volume is assembled, you can immediately access the data of the file system: the program implements "reading" of all supported file systems. If you need to find lost data or reconstruct metadata after damage, the program supports several modes of volume analysis (scanning), including fast (indexing) and deep scanning.

If the data is encrypted, the program will be able to decrypt it by supporting a large number of popular encryption methods, including BitLocker, LUKS, Apple encryption and so on. Of course, this is only possible if you have the appropriate passwords or encryption keys.

Found data can be processed and sorted in the interface, supported file-level encryption can be decrypted and data can be copied to another medium. Moreover, data copying can be started both manually (file by file, directory by directory), and in automatic or batch modes. In any case, the program not only copies data, but also preserves file attributes. It also has extended support of reports, including file hashes report.

If you only need to assemble a volume for processing by other software, this is also quite easy to do: the program allows you to mount the assembled volume in the OS as a virtual SCSI disk.

UFS Explorer Technician has more strict licensing comparing to other UFS Explroer software to reduce the factor of software piracy. For this reasons the software is only licensed to business customers. The following options of the software activation are available:

Key features

Work with an exceptional diversity of storage formats Work with an exceptional diversity of storage formats
UFS Explorer Technician provides direct access to the intact content and allows recovering the missing data from an entire range of file systems employed by Windows (FAT/FAT32/exFAT, NTFS and ReFS/ReFS3), macOS (HFS+, APFS), Linux (Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, SGI XFS, JFS, ReiserFS, Sun ZFS, Btrfs, F2FS), BSD/Solaris (ZFS), VMware (VMFS, VMFS6), together with the possibility to read volumes of Novell NetWare (NWFS), Novell Storage Services (NWFS, NSS, NSS 64), IBM/Microsoft (HPFS), AIX (Legacy JFS1, JFS2), Xinous OpenServer (EAFS, HTFS, DTFS), Veritas Storage Foundation (VxFS4, VxFS6, VxFS7) and Urive (NxFS).
Support for forensic and other disk images Support for forensic and other disk images
Along with ordinary disk images created with various utilities, UFS Explorer Technician is capable of working with ones produced by professional forensic tools, like EnCase Imager and FTK Imager, and specialized data recovery solutions, like DeepSpar DDI, MRT DE, R-Studio and others. The software makes it possible to open and browse the content of an image created for a particular drive, volume or file and allows scanning it for lost information as if it was a conventional physical storage device.
The possibility to prove the forensic reliability of data The possibility to prove the forensic reliability of data
The software provides an extended report on the available/recovered data with the information about the processed storage, its content, various details about each file, like its size, time of its creation, last access and modification, the state of its metadata and others. The integrity of the content of files can be easily controlled with the help of checksums – even a change of a single byte will become evident after a simple visual comparison of the file's hash values in several reports. A wide set of hashing algorithms can be used for the calculation, including MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512 and others.
Plenty of other reporting options Plenty of other reporting options
The utility also allows creating a report with an interactive representation of the file system content that can be easily transferred to third parties and viewed in any standard web-browser. Besides, the program offers many other report types, like one on the size of the data with files/folders metadata integrity check, a basic list of folders and files in various formats, a log of the most important software events with their details, a list of file fragments with both physical and virtual offsets, etc.
Wide spectrum of supported storage technologies Wide spectrum of supported storage technologies
UFS Explorer Technician delivers efficient means for handling a broad range of technologies applied in modern storage devices. These include Windows Dynamic Disks and Storage Spaces, Apple Software RAID, Core Storage and Time Machine, Linux mdadm, LVM with Thin Provisioning, Btrfs-RAID, ZFS RAID-Z, Drobo's BeyondRAID, Synology's Hybrid RAID, QNAP's Qtier and other specific implementations. The application also supports the technology of Microsoft data deduplication (Windows Server), making it possible to restore data lost from deduplicated volumes with NTFS and ReFS.
Instant unlocking of encrypted volumes Instant unlocking of encrypted volumes
The program recognizes most common encryption technologies, including LUKS, VeraCrypt (TrueCrypt), BitLocker, FileVault 2, APFS encryption and eCryptFS, enabling access to the available files and recovery of lost data from encrypted volumes or directories, provided that the user knows a password/encryption key. It is not necessary to enter the operating system and decrypt the drive – you can simply input the password/key in the software interface, and it will use it to decode the storage for further manipulations.
Access to RAID files and effective data recovery Access to RAID files and effective data recovery
The software is able to automatically reconstruct different RAID patterns, including non-redundant RAID level 0 and JBOD, 1 and 1E mirrors, levels 3 and 4 with dedicated and 5 and 6 with distributed parity as well as nested RAID setups. A special syntax allows defining custom RAID configurations with various data distribution algorithms. The utility can also adaptively restore a defective RAID set using parity (for RAID 5 and RAID 6) or a copy of data (for RAID 1). RAID can be also reconstructed using disk images with the emulation of bad sectors with the help of bad sector maps.
Work with modern virtualization systems Work with modern virtualization systems
UFS Explorer Technician supports virtual disks used by popular virtual machines, including VMware, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, QEMU and XEN, works with them as if they were just physical devices and makes it possible to navigate them or recover data even when they are stored on RAID or on another virtual machine. For example, the user can build RAID storing a VMware ESX virtual machine (VMFS file system), open a virtual disk directly from VMFS and restore files directly from the virtual machine without the need to retrieve the virtual disk first.
Controlled disk reading procedure Controlled disk reading procedure
UFS Explorer Technician makes it possible to select the method of data access and choose an I/O timeout for cases when reading is not successful due to an I/O disk error. A "read-once" feature allows avoiding excessive read requests to the same location on the storage and save the processed information to a sparse image file, eliminating the load on failing devices and keeping them from the imminent breakdown.
Advanced disk imaging possibilities Advanced disk imaging possibilities
The program allows creating a full clone of a disk or modifying the imaged area either by defining ranges on the storage or by choosing a set of files to be copied. The in-built disk imaging tool also offers configurable parameters, like reading timeout, block size, direction, protocol and settings for processing of defective areas after failed reading attempts. The faulty blocks encountered during the procedure are presented in a map file and a log of reading errors can be saved as a report.
Defining damaged sectors Defining damaged sectors
UFS Explorer Technician creates maps of defects in the process of disk imaging and works with ones produced by other compatible software or hardware systems. The utility can use such a map to emulate bad sectors on the storage or identify damaged blocks dynamically by looking for a given content template. Furthermore, it is possible to set up a mask with imitation of defects from the occupied or "free" file system space and utilize this mask for disk imaging, scanning and other operations. The masked areas can also be filled with a specified pattern.
Multiple types of scanning Multiple types of scanning
The program has several scanning options, including a quick scan for specific types of file systems, longer in-depth search for lost data by known content with the possibility to load custom IntelliRAW rules, scanning of the space occupied by the file system or just the "free space" areas. The scanning process can be paused for the review or saving of intermediate results and the final result can also be saved for further usage.
Sector size mutation Sector size mutation
While a sector size of a usual hard drive is 512 bytes, some systems, like NetApp, EMC, HP, etc. employ proprietary block formats, preventing access to data on their storage devices without specialized hardware. UFS Explorer Technician works with SCSI and SAS drives of non-standard sector sizes (520 bytes, 524 bytes, 528 bytes and others) and carries out automatic sector conversion in the typical size of 512 bytes through metadata truncation for access to files or subsequent data recovery operations.
Support of DeepSpar Disk Imager Support of DeepSpar Disk Imager
UFS Explorer Technician enables direct access via network and allows recovering data from drives connected to a DeepSpar Disk Imager device with the possibility to define the read timeout, block size and other settings for maximum safety and efficiency of the procedure. The imaging can also be performed by DDI on a basis of a bitmap loaded into the software. Furthermore, the program supports "split" disk images created by DDI.
Interaction with MRT data recovery systems Interaction with MRT data recovery systems
The application is compatible with MRT Data Explorer, supports task files created by this software along with defects maps associated with them and provides control over disk imaging carried out by MRT Express/Ultra, including the opportunity to image by a bitmap, choose specific ranges, files/folders, etc. Also, UFS Explorer Technician allows loading file image chunks from an MRT task, sorts them automatically and fills them with the necessary spacers for further work.
Broad set of tools for efficient data analysis Broad set of tools for efficient data analysis
UFS Explorer Technician comprises all the instruments required for effortless work with the binary content of storages, partitions, files or their fragments in a hexadecimal mode. A multifunctional hexadecimal viewer with a raw data inspector, position bookmarks, structure templates, reverse data address translation, parallel search, data comparison and other features considerably assists in data parsing while a hexadecimal editor with a variety of helpful options enables it convenient manual editing.
Direct communication with SCSI devices
The software allows users to issue specific SCSI commands and thus communicate with SCSI-based storage devices, like enterprise-grade hard drives, RAID sets and other media that support the SCSI protocol, at the lowest level. A special SCSI command tool embedded into UFS Explorer Technician makes it possible to go beyond standard operating system interactions in order to obtain the necessary control and diagnostic capabilities, especially useful when performing operations on problematic storages.
Means for secure data disposal
The program incorporates a dedicated wiping tool that allows overwriting all the data available on the selected drive with zeroes in order to be sure that it no longer holds any recoverable information. The process of erasure can also be accelerated by skipping the "unused" areas with the help of an entropy map generated from a previously captured disk image or clone. Such a possibility makes it simple to clear the storage and prepare it for further use, reducing the risk of potential disclosure of the data related to a previous case or accidental contamination of the new one, without the need for separate third-party utilities.
Expandability via additional plugins
The capabilities of UFS Explorer Technician can be enhanced through additional plugins created to address the unique data recovery requirements of particular storage systems, like Dell EqualLogic SAN and others. Once downloaded and activated, a compatible plugin seamlessly integrates into the software and becomes accessible from the list of available plugins as if it was an integral part of the program’s data recovery toolkit. Users can easily handle the plugins offered for the utility and thus tailor its functionality according to their individual demands.
