Key features
Applicable to a wide spectrum of storages
The software works with a broad set of physical storage devices, virtual machines and disk images. With its help, it is possible to get back missing files from hard disk drives, USB sticks, memory cards of photo or video cameras, portable USB drives, virtual disks of VMware, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, QEMU, XEN and disk images of various formats.
Work with diverse file systems
UFS Explorer Standard Recovery provides immediate access to the available files and allows recovering data from a vast variety of file systems used in Windows (FAT/FAT32/exFAT and NTFS), macOS (APFS, HFS+), Linux (XFS, Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, Linux JFS, ReiserFS, UFS/UFS2, big-endian UFS, Btrfs) and BSD/Solaris (UFS, simple ZFS volumes).
Automatic assembly of spanned volumes
The utility is able to recognize spanned storages created with the help of Windows Logical Disk Manager, Apple Disk Utility, Linux LVM, etc. and assembles them for further data recovery, provided that the volume metadata has not been severely corrupted.
Adjustable scanning
The application presents multiple scanning options, including a quick scan for selected file system types, a longer profound search for lost data by known content with the opportunity to upload custom IntelliRAW rules, scanning of the space occupied by the file system or “free space” areas. The scanning process can be paused for checking the intermediate result while its results can be saved for future references.
Helpful additional functionality
UFS Explorer Standard Recovery is supplemented with a variety of useful options. The software contains an advanced search function, enables the preview of files of most common formats, including images, PDF documents and text files, sorting files by name, size or date and filtering them by several criteria.
Controlled disk reading and imaging
The program allows choosing an optimal method for disk access and selection a timeout for cases when reading fails due to an I/O device error. An advanced instrument for disk imaging makes it possible to configure the imaged area and such settings as read timeout, block size, direction, protocol, etc. A set of rules can also be defined for the omission of defective sectors spotted during the procedure. In addition, the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drives can be monitored along with events and issues occurred during the work.
What's New in Version 10.11.1
- Fixed critical issue with parallel access to disks (caused by an unexpected behaviour of device handle duplication API);
- Fixed crash bug issue caused by decoding of some malformed MPEG4 video frames (for purposes of 'preview');
- Added support of 'still frame preview' for more video formats.
