R-Linux is a free file recovery utility for the Ext2FS/Ext3FS file system used in the Linux OS and several Unixes. R-Linux uses InteligentScan technology and flexible parameter settings that give you real control over the fastest data recovery ever seen. It recovers files from existing logical disks even when file records are lost. However, there is no any network capabilities or ability to reconstruct damaged RAIDs or stripe sets in R-Linux.

R-Linux Features

• Standard "Windows Explorer" - style interface.
• Host OS: Win9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista.
• Supported file systems: Ext2FS/Ext3FS (Linux) only.
• Recognition and parsing Dynamic (Windows 2000/XP/Vista), Basic, GPT and BSD (UNIX) partitions layout schema and Apple partition map. Dynamic partitions over GPT are supported as well as dynamic partitions over MBR.
• 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-Linux, 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-Linux.
• Recognizes localized names.
• Recovered files can be saved on any (including network) disks accessible by the host operating system.
• Support for known file types. R-Linux 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.
• Scan process visualization. While scanning an object, R-Linux graphically shows items that have been found.
• A hexadecimal disk and file editor.
• Patterns (or templates) in the hexadecimal editor allowing for parsing the data according to specific data structure. Such patterns may be custom-created.
• GPT and APM partition layout schema support.
