RAID Reconstructor 4.02

 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 to 14 drives
  

Even if you do not know the RAID parameters, such as start sector, 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 a virtual image (.vim), an image file (.img) or on a physical drive.

Unlike other products that require you to know the RAID parameters, RAID Reconstructor is not only a "destriper" but an "analyzer" as well. It finds the unknown parameters for you.
Once you created an image you can either mount it with Captain Nemo or 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 Captain Nemo or GetDataBack too or you might even be able to directly boot from it.
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 all drives.
The RAID Reconstructor will recover both, hardware and software RAIDs. It will recover from broken Windows Dynamic Disk sets.

How it works:

• RAID Reconstructor will create a probe of your RAID drives which you would send by FTP or upload to server.
• It will analyze this probe and attempt to find the parameters for you.
• You would then enter these parameters into RAID Reconstructor and continue your recovery.

Major Features:

1. RaidProbe is available for Windows NTFS, Linux EXTFS2/EXTFS3 and XFS, Mac HFS and HFS+ formatted systems. This includes work stations, servers, NAS such as Buffalo Terastation and others.
2. You can run RAID Reconstructor from a WinPE boot CD-ROM.
3. Take advantage of the scripting feature in RAID Reconstructor.
4. 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.
   

Requirements:

• Pentium processor
• 32 MB RAM
• Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista
• Disk controller card capable of handling all the drives in your RAID individually
• Storage space for holding the reconstructed RAID
