R-Studio 4.2: Data recovery

Save files in the event of problems

Tim Smith, Computeract!ve 03 Dec 2007

Accidents happen and if there is no up to date backup available the only alternative is to try and recover files from the hard disk. This is often easier said than done but R-Studio 4.2 is particulary good.

It can recover files from just about every kind of file system in use from all kinds of operating systems.

The list includes FAT (FAT12, FAT16, FAT32), NTFS, NTFS5 (created or updated by Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista), HFS/HFS+ (Macintosh), Little and Big Endian variants of UFS1/UFS2 (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD/Solaris) and Ext2FS/Ext3FS (Linux) partitions.

This demo version will find files but only recover those smaller than 64KB.

There are cheaper versions available that are more limited in the file systems they can recover from either NTFS or FAT

Remember that if you are using this software for real it should not be installed on the disk with files to be recovered. Otherwise there is the risk that files will be overwritten before they can be recovered.
