Recovery Explorer
is a universal software solution designed to bridge the gap between far-reaching data recovery possibilities provided by purely professional utilities and a straightforward data recovery procedure that can be easily accomplished by both beginners and experienced computer users.
Professional quality made easily achievable
The software offers an optimal mix of advanced technologies, rich functionality, high adjustability and an intuitive interface, serving to make the extraction of lost information maximally productive and smooth.
The software provides convenient means for handling routine data recovery tasks, such as restoring mistakenly deleted files, salvaging data after storage formatting or recovering content affected by malware and other logical problems. The highly sophisticated scanning and reconstruction techniques it employs are balanced by a friendly interface, making the software readily usable even for people with basic computer literacy. Moreover, numerous supplementary features, like file status display and on-the-spot preview, automated sorting, customizable search, and a built-in disk imaging tool considerably facilitate the recovery process.
In addition to simple digital media, like internal and external hard disk drives, memory cards and USB sticks, the software allows assembling and processing RAID configurations, complex RAID-like virtual volumes, hybrid cached storage systems, decrypting encrypted devices and opening disk images or virtual disks of virtual machines, even when they are located on another virtual storage. Special tools make it possible to find lost partitions or define them manually within a certain region. Furthermore, a broad set of instruments for the analysis of raw binary data and its manual correction allows handling instances of serious logical damage.
The software provides direct access to intact file system data and allows restoring missing files from such file system types as FAT/FAT32, exFAT, NTFS and ReFS/ReFS3 of Windows; HFS+ and APFS of macOS, Ext2/Ext3/Ext4, XFS, JFS, ReiserFS, UFS, UFS2, Btrfs, ZFS, F2FS of Linux; VMFS/VMFS6 of VMware. Using this product, one can also work with NAS devices of various brands and models, as well as modern technologies like Apple Software RAID, Fusion Drive, FileVault2 and encrypted APFS; mdadm, LVM with Thin Provisioning, LUKS and ecryptFS of Linux; Dynamic Disks, Storage Spaces and BitLocker of Windows; simple or encrypted OpenBSD softraid and many others.
The software supports both automatic and manual assembly of RAID. The supported RAID types include simple configurations (RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 3, RAID 5, RAID 6, etc.), nested layouts (RAID 10, RAID 50, RAID 60, etc.), non-standard setups (Synology Hybrid RAID, Drobo BeyondRAID, ZFS RAID-Z, Btrfs-RAID, OpenBSD softraid) and custom RAID patterns. The hexadecimal content, layout or entropy metrics of an array can be visualized to verify its consistency or the correctness of the selected parameters. It is also possible to decompose an assembled system into individual components and handle them as if they were separate storage devices.
Software editions for cases of different complexity
Recovery Explorer is available in three separate editions, each with its own set of functional capabilities, allowing everyone to choose an application that best fits their data recovery needs.
The program allows exploring the content of intact partitions without a prior scan. If a volume has been deleted or lost, the software offers several mechanisms for its reconstruction.
The utility supports a wide range of file systems used by most common operating systems, including Windows, Linux and macOS.
The application provides an optional Wizard-based interface with embedded prompts, tips and explanations, which are helpful for users without previous experience.
The software incorporates various auxiliary functions, like file status visualization and preview, basic and advanced search, sorting and filtering options, disk imager and many others.
The program is able to identify the initial parameters of RAID from its metadata and utilizes this information for instant reconstruction of the array.
The application handles complex storage systems of various types and levels, including standard setups, nested patterns and custom configurations.
The utility automatically assembles such storages as Windows Dynamic Disks and Storage Spaces, Linux LVM and mdadm, Apple Software RAID and OpenBSD softraid.
In addition to complex storage systems, the software allows recovering data from any stand-alone physical or virtual digital medium with equal efficiency.
In addition to common file systems, the software also supports ones applied on NAS and servers, like ReFS/ReFS3 of Windows, XFS, ReiserFS, Btrfs, ZFS of Linux, VMFS of VMware and others.
The program allows handling volumes encrypted with the help of BitLocker, LUKS, VeraCrypt, ecryptFS, FileVault 2 and other schemes, without prior decryption in the operating system.
The application supports specific technologies, such as Drobo BeyondRAID, Synology SHR, ZFS RAID-Z, Btrfs-RAID, Intel Optane Memory and SSD caching in some NAS appliances.
The utility works with virtual disks employed by major virtualization software, including VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, VirtualBox, Parallels, QEMU and XEN.
