R-Studio 5.3 Build 132961

Rated 50/50 by Artem S. Tashkinov at Mar 10, 2010

New features: + In-place saving of recovered files on a remote computer. When recovering data on a remote computer over network, R-Studio can now save recovered files on another disk of the same remote computer, on an external USB hard drive, for example. Moreover, such remote computer can be connected to the Internet rather than to a local network. This feature is especially useful for data recovery technicians and corporations who can now serve their clients truly remotely over the Internet and do not need to transfer large volumes of data over network. In addition, files recovered from a remote compute can be saved on a local computer or on another internet-connected remote computer with R-Studio Agent running. + Forensic mode (Technician version only). In this mode R-Studio generates a forensic data collection audit log that can be presented at court hearings. This log includes information about a hardware configuration on which the forensic data collection takes place and MD5 for recovered files. + Clickable links in Text/hexadecimal editor. Those links provide direct jumps to important parts of objects being analyzed and edited. Improvements: * The file recovery over network is optimized to make it faster. * More recovery statistics is added to Log. * R-Studio constantly updates marked file statistics while recovering files. * The RAID View top hint can be hidden to save extra space in low resolution environments * Search performance is improved in Text/Hexadecimal editor. * Data validators are added to many dialog boxes. Changes: = When remote computers are connected, the Recover dialog is changed to reflect the new network file recovery features. = If Restore from root is not selected, R-Studio creates the recovered folder structure starting from the folders below the lowest common folder. = All log files are saved using the UTF-8 encoding. Bugfixes: - Recognized partitions are removed from the destination device tree in Drive Copy Wizard. - Sometimes R-S

Changelog: Improvements: * The legend in the Raid control hides automatically if there is not enough space for more important elements. * A new folder/file path widget is added. * Validation for folder/file paths is improved where it applicable. * Text/hexadecimal editor: hints are added to the status bar for the Stop and Auto flow buttons * Text/hexadecimal editor: Data view pane is better displayed. * Menu items belonging to inactive panels are blocked. * A confirmation message for deleting a remote computer contains now the name of the computer to be deleted. * File names in the Forensic Log dialog box are checked for their consistency. * Characters entered into the Rename and change all invalid symbols to field are checked for their consistency. = Changes = Existing image files are re-written in the image file creation task rather than in the image file creation dialog box. = The Recover dialog box requires that the path for recovered files be full. Fixed: - It was possible to enter 0MB and 0GB into the Size field on the Scan dialog box and start scanning. Fixed. - When files were marked on the Find Results panel using the Mark command on the shortcut menu, the files were not immediately marked. Fixed. - When the RAID control was resized, some internal controls might have invalid sizes. Fixed. - If an image file is to be overwritten, no warning was shown and the files was overwritten. Fixed. - Scan progress was not shown in the Simple mode. Fixed. - There was no warning message if an incorrect path for recovered files was entered into the Output folder field on the Recover dialog box. - The Remote Computer radio button appeared on the Recover dialog box when files from an open *.arc image file were saved. Fixed. - The Open Image File dialog box (instead of the Save Image File one) appeared when an image file was to be saved. Fixed. - If a file extension was removed on the Create Image dialog box, the file extension was not added automatically when the file ty

There is nothing to like, can't get it to work. Could not even get it to work, a waste of $80, still trying to get tech help, who is getting very frustrated with me as I don't understand what he is trying to say to me. Have not been able to get it up and working. Company refuses to refund my money. Definitely not for someone with limited computer knowledge.

The interface is a bit clunky, but I've tried a lot of different file recovery programs and this is the one I always turn to. Deleted files, corrupt filesystems, damaged drives; R-Studio recovers data where other programs can't even detect it. Highly recommended.

Powerful, concise and full-featured data recovery software; easy to use and understand Not a lot, really I have personal experience with using this product in a professional setting, as well as others, and I can safely say that R-Studio blows the others out of the water, except for very specific data recovery programs.

In short, this works when other recovery apps throw in the towel. In fact, I've never had this tool fail to recover files for me.

It was cheaper than the software I eventually had to buy because this software failed. ILinux recovery is slow, and dose not work. It renames the files you are trying to find which makes recovery problematic in the best case, impossible in the worst. Linux recovery does not work. Buy something else if you need linux files.

I have tried 15 others from this website and NONE worked. Mostly they didnt restore the complete folder structure, did not see some deleted folders entirely, and, in some cases, saw the folders and not the files and vice versa. R Studio just works. Its not free. But its totally worth it! As an addition to the Pros, it's regularly updated, unlike most others out there. Absolutely brilliant.
