Data Recovery from Volume Sets and RAIDs


(Available on Restorer Ultimate PRO and Restorer Ultimate PRO Network only).

If a volume set or RAID is present in your system, Restorer Ultimate detects it, and a Volume sets and RAIDs object appears on the Device/Disk list. This object can be searched for files, scanned, and files found on it can be recovered the same way as from regular drives/volumes.

If you have components from a failed volume set or RAID, you may create a Virtual volume set or RAID from the components to recover files from it. Such components may be any objects on the Device/Disk list, be them real hard drives or disk images.

Once a Virtual Volume sets and RAIDs object is created, it can be searched for files, scanned, and files found on it can be recovered the same way as from regular drives/volumes.
