Recover files that are lost or accidentally deleted
It has happened to us all. We’ve lost or deleted a file at some stage that was really important. Of course, nowadays, with so many external backup options there is less chance it’s going to happen but if it does, there is still hope. R-Studio Data Recovery, although sounding like a music program, actually helps you recover lost or accidentally deleted files. It’s not a sure-fire solution but it can help depending on the type of file you’ve deleted.
When R-Studio Demo version has found a lost file larger than 64KB you may simply double click the file to preview it. However, in this demo version, if you want to open it you’ll need to register the software to obtain the R-Studio registration key. However, if you have enough disk space on any additional hard drive or on an alternative media the developers recommend that you create an image of the recognized partition where the lost files were found, because Windows OS constantly writes some information on disks and there is a risk that the sectors where the deleted files reside may be overwritten. According to them, “If that happens, the files still may be found, but may contain incorrect data or cannot be found at all.” They assure however that the created image can be processed the same way as the original partition. The program supports a wide range of drives including dynamic disk and RAID drives. It’s also able to recover encrypted and compressed files so if your lost file was zipped-up, there’s still a chance you can recover it. For those who know how to edit MFT file records and MBR/LDM structures, they can be viewed and edited in the program’s accompanying disk hex editor.
The program makers do issue one serious word of warning however – never try to write the image file or recovered deleted files to the same disk where the files reside or you may lose the data on your disk.
R-Studio can’t guarantee to rescue all files but it’s definitely worth a shot if the worst has happened.
A comprehensive data recovery and file undelete solution for Windows, Mac and Linux OS..
R-Studio is a comprehensive data recovery and undelete program renowned for its ability to recover mission-critical data lost to viruses, malicious attacks, and hardware failures or operating system crashes. It supports FAT/NTFS (All Windows), exFAT(WinMobile, Windows Vista and Windows 7), ReFS (Resilient File System), HFS/HFS+ (Mac), UFS1/UFS2 & Ext2FS/3FS/4FS file systems and functions on local and network disks, even if partitions are formatted, damaged or deleted. All 64-bit Windows versions are supported as well Additional advanced algorithm for raw file recovery (search for file signatures) increases the quality of recovery and finds files not recognized in file system metadata. Dynamic disk and RAID (including RAID6 and reverse RAIDs) are supported as well as recovering encrypted files, compressed files and alternative data streams. Automatic RAID parameter recognition and support for parity delays in all applicable RAID layouts. Files and file systems structures (NTFS/FAT boot sectors, MFT file record, MBR, LDM structures) can be viewed and edited in the professional disk hex editor. In addition to byte to byte copy of any object visible in the Drives panel, smart copy of partitions and hard drives with size and offset adjustment is available. In-place saving of recovered files on a remote computer allows to serve computers over the Internet connection. Extended Viewer Plugin allows viewing a content of the found files to estimate recovery chances prior to purchasing. Flexible parameter settings give you absolute control over data recovery. S.M.A.R.T. attribute monitoring to show hard drives hardware health and predict their possible failures.
