UFS Explorer Network RAID

Introduction to UFS Explorer Network RAID

Overview

UFS Explorer Network RAID for macOS is a versatile data recovery software with network-based capabilities. It is specifically designed to address data loss cases related to complex RAID-based storage devices and offers the possibility of performing data recovery over a Local Area Network. The software allows users to restore files from various storage media connected to remote computers as if they were attached directly to the local machine without the need for physical hardware transfer. UFS Explorer Network RAID also supports the assembly of disk arrays from components connected to multiple PCs, even if they are running different operating systems.

Features

• Distributed data recovery over LAN: Enables distributed data recovery over a LAN, allowing access to remote PCs and their storage devices as if they were physically attached to the host computer.

• Effective data recovery from RAID: Supports processing of RAID configurations, including standard levels, nested patterns, and custom RAID setups, as well as specific technologies like Drobo Beyond RAID, Synology Hybrid RAID, Btrfs-RAID, and ZFS RAID-Z.

• Ideal for NAS data recovery: Capable of recovering data lost from NAS appliances of various manufacturers, such as Drobo, Buffalo Technology, Synology, and QNAP Systems, by automatically identifying RAID metadata on NAS disks and reconstructing the array.

• Adaptive RAID reconstruction: Supports the adaptive reconstruction of redundant disk arrays using bad sector maps generated during imaging or through the recognition of specific patterns created by other tools.

• Configurable disk reading and imaging: Allows users to choose disk access methods, define timeouts, adjust disk imager parameters, and specify rules for skipping bad blocks during imaging.

• Support of DeepSpar Disk Imager: Provides direct access via LAN for data recovery from drives containing bad sectors connected through a DeepSpar Disk Imager device.

• Customizable scanning: Offers various scanning options, including quick scan, profound search, and scanning of the file system or free space areas, with the ability to pause the scan and save results.

• Defining damaged sectors: Generates defect maps during disk imaging, supports maps produced by other solutions, and allows visualization of damaged sectors or dynamic identification of bad blocks based on specified content patterns.

Use Cases

• Restoring data from RAID-based storage devices.
• Recovering data from NAS appliances.
• Reconstructing disk arrays with components distributed across multiple computers.
• Handling cases of physical damage on storage media.
