Data Recovery Weekly

We have released ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery which is available for downloading at www.FreeRaidRecovery.com . As the name implies, this is absolutely free RAID recovery software. The tool reconstructs most widely used RAID layouts - RAID 0 , RAID 5 , and RAID 01/10. ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery is capable of recovering the following array parameters: start offset, block size, member disks and data order, parity position and rotation. Once you recovered the RAID parameters, you can: Run ReclaiMe data recovery software to recover data from the array; Create the array image file; Write the array to disk; Save layout to the XML file; Get the instructions and recover data using other data recovery software. In addition to the fact that the tool is absolutely free, it is really simple to use - no Settings button at all. All you need to start RAID recovery is to select the available member disks (our tool can reconstruct RAID 5 with one disk missing), decide on the array type, and click St...

We are now developing a RAID recovery software. As you know, RAID recovery boils down to two independent steps - RAID parameters recovery and the subsequent recovery of data off the reconstructed array. Knowing the array parameters, the data recovery (second step) can be done using any data recovery software. The RAID parameters reconstruction is not such an easy task, and frankly speaking, there are very few RAID reconstruction tools. So, we decided to develop our own RAID parameters recovery software, which we think would be the best of ever been, and at the best possible price. Our RAID parameters recovery software will work with RAID 0 and RAID 5 The output would be either a parameter set, or an image file of the entire RAID array. The option to write the array data directly to the specified device is also considered. We are planning to release the software by the end of September (year 2010, you know). All the other specifics like download location is still to be determined. Keep...
