RAID Reconstructor - software data recovery

Runtime's RAID Reconstructor will help you recover data from broken

• RAID Level 5 Array consisting of 3 to 14 drives
• RAID Level 0 Array (Striping) consisting of 2 drives

Even if you do not know the RAID parameters, such as drive order, block size and direction of rotation, RAID Reconstructor will analyze your drives and determine the correct values. You will then be able to create a copy of the reconstructed RAID in an image file or on a physical drive.

Once you created an image you can use it for further data recovery processing with Runtime's GetDataBack. If you create the image on another physical drive, you can process it with GetDataBack too or you might even be able to directly boot from it.

RAID Reconstructor is read-only

It will not try to "fix" your RAID. It will merely create a copy of your RAID at another location. It will collect sector by sector from each single drive involved and write these sectors in the correct order to the designated destination. This process is also called "de-striping".

Because one drive is redundant in RAID 5, it is sufficient to have one less than the original number of drives (N) in the array. RAID Reconstructor can recalculate the original data from the N-1 drives. For a RAID-0 (striped) array you will need both drives.

The RAID Reconstructor will recover both, hardware and software RAIDs. It will recover from broken Windows Dynamic Disk sets.

You can run RAID Reconstructor from a WinPE boot CD-ROM.

Take advantage of the scripting feature in RAID Reconstructor.

Based on the PASCAL programming language, scripts allow you to access your drives and process them with all the elements available in a higher programming language. For more information please refer to the build-in help file in the software.
