R-Studio for Mac is a powerful cost-effective undelete and data recovery software utility.

Empowered by the new unique data recovery technologies, it is the most comprehensive data recovery solution for recovery files from FAT12/16/32, NTFS and NTFS5 (created or updated by Windows 2000/XP/2003), HFS/HFS (Macintosh), Little and Big Endian variants of UFS1/UFS2 (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD/Solaris) and Ext2FS/Ext3FS (Linux).

R-Studio functions on local disks, even if such partitions are formatted, damaged or deleted. Flexible parameter settings give you absolute control over data recovery.

R-Studio for Mac recovers files:
· Removed by virus attack or power failure;
· After the partition with the files was reformatted, even for different file system;
· Deleted from computer;
· When the partition structure on a hard disk was changed or damaged. In this case, R-Studio for Mac can scan the hard disk trying to find previously existed partitions and recover files from found partitions.
· From hard disk with bad sectors. R-Studio for Mac can first copy the entire disk or its part into an image file and then process such image file. This is especially useful when new bad sectors are constantly appearing on the hard disk, and remaining information must be immediately saved.

Here are some key features of "R-Studio":

· Host OS: Mac OS 10.4 Tiger, Mac OS Server 10.5 Tiger, Mac OS 10.5 Leopard and Mac OS Server 10.5 Leopard running on a computer with Intel, PowerPC G5 or PowerPC G4 processors.
· Supported file systems: HFS, HFS , HFSX, NTFS, NTFS5, Ext2FS, Ext3FS, FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, UFS1, UFS2 and UFS BigEndian.
· Support for known file types. R-Studio for Mac searches for files with known typical features of their structures allowing the user to search for files on devices with unknown files systems, including an HD, CD, DVD, floppy disk, Compact Flash Card, USB drive, ZIP drive, Memory Sticks, and other removable media. Support for known file types is the main and mandatory option for recovery data from HFS, HFS partitions.
· Scan process visualization. While scanning an object, R-Studio Mac graphically shows items that have been found, including files of known types, HFS/HFS volume headers, HFS/HFS BTree nodes, FAT and NTFS MFT records, boot records, etc.
· Mass file recovery support.
· APM, Basic and GPT support. R-Studio for Mac supports all three partition schemes used to define the low-level organization of data on disks formatted for use with Macintosh computers.
· Dynamic disk support.
· HFSJ and HFSX volumes support.
· Software RAID, volume set, and stripe set support. Support for various unusual RAID configurations. Parameters like block size and order, offsets, and even the number of stripe blocks can be explicitly specified. Custom RAID configurations can be saved.
· Hardware RAID, volume set, and stripe set support.
· Creates image files for an entire hard drive, logical disk, or its part. Such image files can be processed like regular disks. Images can be either simple exact object copies (Plain images) compatible with the previous versions of R-Studio, or compressed images that can be compressed, split into several parts, and password-protected. Such images are fully compatible with the images created by R-Drive Image, but incompatible with the previous versions of R-Studio.
· Recovers files on damaged or deleted partitions.
· Recovers data forks, resource forks, finder information and UNIX file system permissions.
· Recovers compressed, encrypted files and alternative data streams from NTFS partitions.
· Recognizes localized names.
· Recovered files can be saved on any (including network) disks visible by the host operating system.
· A hexadecimal disk and file editor supporting HFS/HFS data forks, resource forks and NTFS file non-resident attribute editing.
· Patterns (or templates) in the hexadecimal editor allowing for parsing the data according to specific data structure. Such patterns may be custom-created.
· File preview. Most of the graphic file types can be previewed to estimate recovery chances.

Requirements:

· Intel, PowerPC G5 or PowerPC G4 processors.
· At least 32 MB of RAM, a mouse, and enough disk space for recovered files, image files, etc.
· The administrative privileges are required to install and run R-Studio for Mac.

Limitations:

· With this demo version you can not recover files larger than 64 KB.
