UFS Explorer Professional Recovery is a full-featured software application designed exclusively for data recovery specialists. The application successfully combines low-level data analysis and data management functions with high-level data recovery tools. UFS Explorer Professional Recovery is the only software of the UFS Explorer group that allows to alter original information on the storage.

Enhanced storage reading mechanism
Advanced possibilities for creating disk images
Support of various storage technologies
Built-in disk decryption techniques
Automatic reconstruction of different RAID types
Adjustable RAID builder with an embedded script handler
Comprehensive toolkit for work with defective storages
Diverse means for effective analysis and editing of binary data

Key features:
Work with various storage technologies
This professional application provides effective means for processing a variety of storage technologies implemented in modern devices. Among them are Windows Dynamic Disks and Storage Spaces, Apple Software RAID, Core Storage and Time Machine, Linux mdadm, LVM with Thin Provisioning, Btrfs-RAID, ZFS RAID-Z, Drobo's BeyondRAID, Synology's Hybrid RAID and other specific configurations. The software also supports the technology of Microsoft data deduplication (Windows Server), enabling users to recover data lost from deduplicated NTFS and ReFS volumes.

Support of a wide range of file systems
UFS Explorer Professional Recovery offers immediate access to the available content and allows restoring lost information from a comprehensive set of file systems applied in Windows (FAT/FAT32/exFAT, NTFS and ReFS/ReFS3), macOS (HFS+, APFS), Linux (Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, SGI XFS, JFS, ReiserFS, Sun ZFS, Btrfs), BSD/Solaris (ZFS) and VMware (VMFS, VMFS6), along with the possibility to read volumes with the legacy Apple HFS file system, Novell NetWare (NWFS) and Novell Storage Services (NWFS, NSS, NSS 64) file systems.

Data recovery from RAID
The utility offers automatic assembly for various RAID setups, including non-redundant RAID level 0 and JBOD, 1 and 1E mirrors, levels 3 and 4 with dedicated and 5 and 6 with distributed parity as well as nested RAID layouts. A special syntax makes it possible to define custom RAID configurations with different data distribution algorithms. The program is also capable of performing adaptive reconstruction of a defective RAID using parity (for RAID 5 and RAID 6) or a copy of data (for RAID 1). A RAID set can be also reconstructed using disk images with the imitation of bad sectors with the help of bad sector maps.

Decryption of encrypted storges
The software supports most common disk encryption technologies, including LUKS, BitLocker, FileVault 2, APFS encryption and eCryptFS, providing the possibility of access to the intact data and recovery of lost files from encrypted volumes in cases when the encryption key is known to the user. There is no need to run the operating system and unlock the drive - the password/key can be inserted directly in the software and it will use it to decipher the storage for further operations.

Support of modern virtualization technologies
UFS Explorer Professional Recovery allows working with virtual disks used by leading virtualization systems, including VMware, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, QEMU and XEN, as if they were ordinary physical devices, and makes it possible to open them or recover lost data even when they are stored on RAID or on another virtual machine. For example, the user can build RAID storing a VMware ESX virtual machine (VMFS file system), open a virtual disk directly from VMFS and recover data straight from the virtual machine without the need to extract the virtual disk first.

Advanced disk reading procedure
UFS Explorer Professional Recovery allows choosing the method of data access and specifying an I/O timeout for cases when reading fails due to a device error. A "read-once" option makes it possible to avoid extra read requests to the same location on the disk and save the processed information to a sparse image file, reducing the load on unstable storages and preventing their further degradation.

Extensive disk imaging possibilities
The software allows creating a full bit-to-bit copy of a storage or customizing the imaged area either by specifying ranges on the disk or by selecting a group of files to be cloned. The embedded disk imager also provides adjustable parameters such as read timeout, block size, direction, protocol and settings for the omission of defective blocks after unsuccessful reading attempts. The bad blocks encountered during the process get indicated in a map file while a log of reading errors can be saved as a report.

Defining damaged sectors
UFS Explorer Professional Recovery produces defects maps during disk imaging and supports ones created by other compatible solutions. The program can utilize such a map for the virtual definition of damaged sectors on the storage or identify bad blocks dynamically by recognizing a specified content pattern. What is more, the software provides the possibility to create a mask with emulation of defects from the used or free file system space and employ this mask for disk imaging, scanning and other operations. The masked areas can also be filled with a given template.

Customizable scanning
The software offers several scanning options, including a quick scan for defined file system types, longer profound search for lost data by known content with the possibility to provide custom IntelliRAW rules, scanning of the space used by the file system or just the "free space" areas. The scanning procedure can be paused for checking the intermediate result while its results can be saved for further references.

Sector size mutation
While a typical sector size of a hard drive is 512 bytes, some vendors, like NetApp, EMC, HP, etc. use proprietary block formats in their storage systems which makes it impossible to access data on such disks without specialized hardware. UFS Explorer Professional supports SCSI and SAS drives with a non-standard sector size (520 bytes, 524 bytes, 528 bytes and others) and performs automatic sector conversion in the conventional size of 512 bytes through metadata truncation for subsequent data recovery or access to files.

Support of DeepSpar Disk Imager
UFS Explorer Professional Recovery enables direct access via network and allows restoring files from damaged disks connected to a DeepSpar Disk Imager device with the possibility to adjust the read timeout, block size and other parameters for maximum safety and efficiency of the procedure. Moreover, the software supports disk images generated by DDI, including the "split" image format. The imaging can also be performed by DDI by a bitmap loaded into the program.

Comprehensive toolkit for data analysis
UFS Explorer Professional Recovery offers all the necessary means for efficient work with the raw content of storages, partitions, files or their fragments in a hexadecimal mode. A convenient hexadecimal viewer with a raw data inspector, position bookmarks, structure templates, reverse data address translation, parallel search, data comparison and other features significantly facilitates data parsing while a hexadecimal editor with a set of auxiliary tools enables it easy manual modification.
