Integration of R-Studio and DeepSpar Disk Imager


R-Studio Technician Edition is a software suite built to handle logical-level problems, such as file system corruption. It supports a wide range of filesystems including NTFS, NTFS5, ReFS, FAT12/16/32, exFAT, HFS/HFS+ (Macintosh), Little and Big Endian variants of UFS1/UFS2 (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD/Solaris) and Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 FS (Linux). It also offers raw file recovery functionality in case the file system elements are entirely inaccessible.

For more information about R-Studio please visit the developers’ webpage Integration with Hard Drive Recovery Hardware.

R-Studio is integrated with the DeepSpar Disk Imager (DDI) through Local Area Network (Network Add-on is required). This integration brings the following advantages to DDI users:

  • Wider range of supported file systems and their different variants
  • Extensive raw file recovery capabilities
  • Improved algorithms for file system recovery
  • User friendly interface of R-Studio
  • Extended reporting functionality

In addition to the above, RAID arrays are now supported. Drives that are part of a RAID array can be connected either to multiple DDI systems on the same LAN, locally to the R-Studio computer, or to a mix of both. A virtual array can then be built within R-Studio, which allows imaging by files to be done directly from the array. This is the first solution of its kind as previously, a full image of each drive within the array was required before file recovery could be attempted.

We hope our customers take advantage of this integration to recover more data, save time, and streamline data recovery processes.
