Creating an image file for the purpose of data recovery

Short introduction to using ReclaiMe File Recovery. In general data recovery scenarios from single disks fall into three categories: UNDELETE: Deleted file recovery. The file system is intact. Files just ‘flagged’ as deleted, this is a normal file system function. Generally, undelete software can easily detect these files again. The file or files could be recovered/downloaded by easily selecting the file in the folder tree and clicking on the download button. So in the end, using only a SATA/USB bridge to connect the Readynas disk to a PC, I was able to recover the files more easily using the Reclaime software than I would have using the Ubuntu recovering method. ReclaiMe File Recovery recovers data from FAT, exFAT, NTFS, and ReFS filesystems, used by Windows from XP onwards and by digital cameras and similar devices. EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, and XFS filesystems used in Linux and most NAS devices. BTRFS filesystem, notably used in modern NETGEAR ReadyNAS devices. Reviewed Version: 4627. Overall Product Rating: 4.3. A very good data recovery program with a good combination of file recovery features and performance. It ranks fourth in data recovery performance and fifth in feature evaluation. One of the best sets of supported file systems. A good file recovery performance.

An image file of a disk for the purpose of data recovery is one that captures each and every sector from the source medium. Used and unused. It is also referred to a bit-stream image, a sector-by-sector disk copy or a raw image.

Creating an image file for data recovery can be a good idea for a variety of reasons.

1. Medium is unstable (bad sectors, SMART errors). Unstable media can deteriorate rapidly. Access to the media (read/write) contributes to deterioration. The less you access it, the better. File recovery software tends to access sectors several times. In case of a disk image, all sectors on the disk are read sequentially, and in case of a good read, only read once.
2. Need to recover data from a slow medium (like a flash memory card).
3. And in general it provides you with a safety net should something happen to original drive. Or if you for example plan to run chkdsk/f on a drive.

The image creation feature in ReclaiMe is free of charge. The image files can also be processed by different software than ReclaiMe. I often recommend it to create images of memory cards and flash media for photo recovery with JPEG Recovery LAB. Access to an image file on a fast hard disk speeds up recovery compared to having to access a relatively slow memory card.

Creating an image file using ReclaiMe File Recovery

1. Make sure you have enough free space available to store the disk image file. You need amount of free space equal to size of the disk you want to image. Note that you must save the disk image file onto a drive which is formatted to NTFS. Disk images cannot be stored on FAT due to FAT file size limitation.
2. Download, install, and run ReclaiMe.
3. Identify the drive you want to create image of in the device list
4. Click once on the drive to select it.
5. On the toolbar, open the menu by clicking on the arrow next to the Disks button. Select Create disk image from the menu.
6. Specify where to place the disk image file when prompted.

A RAW, VHD or VHDX image file?

A RAW image file is the simplest and is an exact copy of the source. It can be processed by most data recovery software. In general I’d say this is the best option if the image file is created for data recovery purposes.

VHD and VHDX are Microsoft Windows formats and referred to as virtual disk images. VHD can handle up to 2 TB volumes, VHDX can handle up to 64 TB volumes. So, in most cases VHD will do.

Advantage of the latter two is that you can mount them in Windows (assign drive letter). Assume the VHD file gets drive letter H: assigned, means you can scan drive H: in the file recovery tool of choice. But you could also for example run chkdsk against virtual drive H: and actually have it fix stuff (which I would only recommend after backing up the VHD file).

The most powerful, yet easy to use file recovery software you will find.

Google for file recovery software, data recovery and undelete software, and you’ll find yourself lost in literally hundreds of applications claiming to be the ultimate solution to your problem. But very few of them actually strike the right balance between functionality and ease of use. ReclaiMe Data Recovery Software does.

ReclaiMe File Recovery software is relatively unknown compared to software like Ontrack’s Easy Recovery, Runtime’s GetDataBack, File Scavenger from Quetek or Easeus Data Recovery Wizard. But is is at least as good or better, often faster and so much easier to use. It is also very safe: The disks containing the lost data are only read from! And prior to working on a disk ReclaiMe checks the disk health using S.M.A.R.T..

I have tested and tried numerous data recovery tools, including my own. ReclaiMe File Recovery is really different!

Compared to professional grade data recovery software: ReclaiMe shares the excellent recovery capabilities with it’s professional counter part ReclaiMe Pro. As such it’s efficiency is comparable to professional grade software like R-Studio, FileScavenger and UFS Explorer. ReclaiMe Standard and Ultimate is much easier in use though. Advantage of such pro grade software is that it is frequently updated based on experiences and requests of professional data recovery engineers.

Compared to consumer grade data recovery software: There are too many too list in this category, however the most popular ones would be Stellar, Easeus, Minitool, Disk Drill, Recoverit and many more. In my opinion, which is based on 20+ years of experience in writing, testing and using data recovery software, ReclaiMe beats each and every one with regards to recovery results and ease of use. And then I haven’t even touched a subject like data recovery from NAS devices, something that the majority of popular tools isn’t even capable of.

Important: I am affiliated with ReclaiMe as with many of the other software titles listed. This means I earn a small commission on any of them if purchased via my website. I may be able to earn more if I’d refer you to Stellar’s or Easeus’ tools simply because they are more popular. Instead I am referring you to the software that is best IMO.

And I am very proud that the ReclaiMe File Recovery software is now available via DiskTuna. I also offer pre-sales and technical support, so don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or issues (see support page for options).

Features, pricing and ordering

ReclaiMe File Recovery will automatically indicate which license is required for actually saving the recovered data. In short:

• If you are recovering from a single disk formatted with a Windows file system the Standard license will do.
• For recovering data from Mac and Linux based file systems you need the Ultimate license.
• You also need the Ultimate license for recovering data from multiple disk sets (RAID & NAS).
• You can upgrade the software during the recovery. So you can start with trial and if things look good purchase a license.

Ease of use

For many losing data will be accompanied by immense stress and panic and the fear of making things worse. Nas illmatic mp3 zip. Having to worry about complex settings and ‘alien’ terminology in data recovery software will only feed those feelings.

When using ReclaiMe File Recovery, all you need to do is to select the drive you want to scan and click start. It is really that easy! In many cases, within minutes, ReclaiMe will show you your data in a familiar layout, folders on the left, files on the right. And even while the software is still scanning you can start browsing, previewing and copying your files.

Features

A wide variety of hardware is supported: ReclaiMe doesn’t care if you need to recover data from a conventional hard disk, SSD, external hard disk or a memory card. It does not care if the interface is SATA or USB. And it even doesn’t mind if the data is spread over several disks from a NAS RAID.

Because ReclaiMe supports almost every file system you throw at it, you don’t have to worry about that either. It supports most Windows file systems including FAT, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS and even Microsofts latest file system ReFS. It supports Linux file systems EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, XFS and BTRFS (often used in NAS devices). And it even supports the Apple Mac HFS, HFS+ (Mac OS Extended), APFS, and UFS file systems.

ReclaiMe runs as native 64 bit software (but can run on 32 bit Windows versions too), offering a huge advantage when having to handle millions of files (which requires lots of memory, of which is more available to a 64 bit program). Note that many competitive programs are still 32 bit.

A free and simple to use add-on, ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery, even allows you to recover data from dis-functional RAIDs (RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 10 and RAID 6)!

When discovering storage devices ReclaiMe File Recovery checks the S.M.A.R.T. status and will warn in case of problems.

If desired, disks can be cloned to an image file

Effectiveness

In the end the effectiveness of data recovery software is measured by the amount of data it recovers. And ReclaiMe File Recovery Software will not disappoint you there. Based on 2015 data, ReclaiMe achieved a 94% success rate.

Even very capable software is of no use if you give up half way the recovery or even before that. Because you do not understand what the software asks from you. Or it simply takes to much time scan a disk. After all, giving up renders even the most capable software zero percent effective.

Using ReclaiMe File Recovery Software

In general data recovery scenarios from single disks fall into three categories:

1. UNDELETE: Deleted file recovery. The file system is intact. Files just ‘flagged’ as deleted, this is a normal file system function. Generally, undelete software can easily detect these files again.
2. UNFORMAT: The volume is still present and available, though it can not be accessed. Typically Windows wants to format the volume and displays the file system as RAW or unknown. If the volume was re-formatted, it can be accessed but is (almost) empty.
3. PARTITION RECOVERY: The drive is no longer present. Disk Management shows unallocated space.

File Recovery Software

Steps required to recover data from a NAS (NAS data recovery step-by-step):

Reclaime File Recovery Ultimate

• Disks must be connected to a PC, and thus removed from the NAS device. Label the disks so you can attach them again in the correct order etc.
• Attach the disks to a PC, preferably use SATA ports (for speed).
• You need to connect all disks involved!
• Follow the steps for unformat type recovery. You do exactly the same thing, but instead of a disk you select a RAID volume (often Linux MD RAID).
• You will need a disk to copy data to.
• And you’ll need the Ultimate license.

Tips for using ReclaiMe File Recovery Software

Disk and Volume detection: Scanning for MD, LVM en BTRFS volumes can take a while. On a Windows system you can skip this by pressing cancel. If you are however trying to recover from a NAS, you need to let this run. Once disk and volume detection completes they are displayed using the following icons.

From left to right:

• A hard disk (physical) or hard disk volume. A volume is a partition or device that Windows assigns a drive letter to.
• A disk image file. Sometimes it’s a good idea to create a disk image first, for example if there are many bad sectors on a disk. A disk image can then be scanned like a regular hard disk. The option to create a disk image is available after selecting a disk or volume, and then click the arrow next to the disk icon in the toolbar.
• External disks (USB, Firewite etc.).
• A complex volume aka a RAID. For example the separate disks from a NAS that combine into a volume
