R-Studio unformat tool
can analyze and unerase data from software RAIDs and volume
or stripe sets. R-Studio detects and processes hardware RAIDs and
volume or stripe sets like regular drives/volumes. Hardware/software RAIDs
can be searched for files or scanned. Found files can be recovered the same
way as from regular drives/volumes.
If, due to data loss, a system does not recognize a software RAID,
but such RAID did exist, and the information on what hard drives were in
the RAID is available, a Virtual volume set
or RAID can be created and processed like a real software RAID.
Such Virtual volume set or RAID may also be used to unerase
data from hardware RAIDs and volume or stripe sets if their controllers
do not work properly.
If a partition from a hardware or software RAID and volume or stripe set is
absent, due to hardware failure, for example, empty space may be added to the
Virtual volume set or RAID in order to correctly re-construct
its structure.
R-Studio unformat tool
does not write anything real on disks. Empty spaces and
Virtual volume set or RAID are pure virtual objects that do
not affect actual data on disks.

R-Studio,
R-Undelete and
R-Linux
can create an image file of any object they can recognize. Images are very useful if there is
a risk of total data loss due to hardware malfunction. If bad blocks are
constantly appearing on a hard drive, the only way to save the data is to
immediately create an image of that drive. All data search, scan, unformat, unerase and recovery
can be done from this image.
R-Studio and R-Linux can create image files for an entire hard
drive, logical disk, or its part. R-Undelete cannot create image files
for a hard drive, but can create image for logical disk, or its part.
All images have the same format. This means that an image made by R-Undelete,
for instance, may be opened and processed by R-Studio.
