R-Linux

R-Linux is a free file recovery application that can be used on various file systems, including Ext2, Ext3, and Ext4, which are common in Linux OSes.

Files that have been lost after power failures, repartitioning, deleting, and usage of HDDs with bad sectors should be completely recoverable.

The application is also capable of making an image of the affected system, which is very useful when dealing with bad sectors on hard disks.

Features:

• Removed by virus attack, power failure or system crash;
• After the partition with the files was re-formatted, damaged, or deleted;
• When the partition structure on a disk was changed or damaged. In this case, R-Linux can scan the disk trying to find previously existing partitions and restore files from found partitions.
• From disks with bad sectors. In this case, R-Linux can first copy the entire disk or its part into an image file and then process the image file. This is especially useful when new bad sectors are constantly appearing on the disk, and remaining information must be immediately saved.
