When to Use Stellar Toolkit for Data Recovery?

Lost Data from Virtual Machine?
Lost Data from Virtual Machine

Data loss may happen on a virtual machine due to reasons such as unexpected shutdown, hypervisor malfunction, or human error. Stellar data recovery toolkit can mount a virtual machine image (VMDK, VDI, VHD, and VHDX) and recover the lost data.

Need to Recover Data from Inaccessible RAID?
Need to Recover Data from Inaccessible RAID

A RAID may turn inaccessible due to controller failure, disk errors, disk failure, etc. leading to data loss. The toolkit can rebuild the RAID & scan the RAID volume to recover data. It can also create a virtual drive to allow data recovery, if it is not feasible to rebuild the RAID.

Need to Recover Data from Synology NAS?
Recover-Data-from-Damaged-or-Broken-RAID

Recovering data from a Synology NAS RAID configuration can be a challenging and delicate process. Data loss can occur on a Synology NAS due to various reasons, such as controller failure, disk errors, and system failures. The Stellar Data Recovery Toolkit can efficiently and effectively recover data from a Synology drive formatted in BTRFS.

KEY FEATURES OF STELLAR DATA RECOVERY TECHNICIAN

RAID Recovery Capabilities

Recovers from All Types of Storage Drive

Recovers from All Types of Storage Drive

Stellar Data Recovery toolkit is designed for all types of storage drives, including hard drive and solid state drive, USB flash memory, hybrid storage, portable drive, memory card, optical storage, Synology drives etc. It can also recover data from BitLocker® encrypted drive, after you enter the BitLocker password or Startup key.

Recovers from RAID 0, RAID 5, & RAID 6

Recovers from RAID 0, RAID 5, & RAID 6

The toolkit can reconstruct an inaccessible RAID array by using parameters such as disk order, start sector of RAID, stripe/block size, etc., and then scan the RAID volume to recover the data. Further, it can provide the probable values for RAID construction, when the parameters are unknown, thus allowing data recovery.

Constructs Virtual RAID for Data Recovery

Constructs Virtual RAID for Data Recovery

In worst-case scenarios, the software allows to create a virtual drive if it is unable to rebuild a RAID or find the volume. It then performs RAW recovery, i.e. file signature-based search of lost data in the RAID volume image, and retrieves the data.

Recovers from Virtual Machine

Recovers from Virtual Machine

The toolkit also recovers data from a virtual machine by mounting the VM image and scanning it like a physical storage. It can scan the visible partitions of the virtual machine or can also search and find the missing partitions, and scan those to retrieve the data. The toolkit can recover data from VMDK, VDI, VHD and VHDX images.

FAQ

Yes, it is necessary to reconstruct the RAID. Stellar RAID Data Recovery software verifies the consistency of data in the reconstructed RAID drives. Only after rebuilding the RAID, you will get probable RAID constructions, on which you can perform various data recovery operations to recover your data.

It is suggested to enter the RAID parameters, if you exactly remember them. Wrong information can mislead the software and lessens the data recovery chances. However, if you don't at all remember the RAID parameters, the software provides option to mention 'Don't Know' in the field given and choose all possible options for the corresponding parameter. In such a case, this RAID hard drive recovery software searches for all specified parameter options and create the probable RAID constructions.

Yes, the software can recover deleted data from Synology NAS. Here are some of the best NAS data recovery software options you can choose from to recover lost data from your NAS device.

Yes, Stellar Toolkit for Data Recovery offers a unique capability to recover the data from virtual machine. It supports VMDK, VDI, VHD, & VHDX file formats.

Yes, you can easily recover all your deleted or formatted data from the RAID drives. Once you rebuild the RAID, you can select and scan the drives or the virtual RAID drive. Once the scan gets completed, select the files you want to recover from the scanned list. Then select 'Recover', choose the destination and click 'Start Saving'.

Yes, the software is able to recover data from such a condition. There are many situations, when two or more RAID drives get logically corrupt and the normal rebuild operation fails. Stellar Data Recovery Technician software is especially designed for such instances of severe RAID array corruption and efficiently recovers all your data from the troubled drives.

No, there is no need to have the RAID controller card while recovering data from the troubled RAID Drives using RAID recovery software by Stellar.

If the software fails to create probable RAID construction, the software shows another option – 'Create Virtual Drive'. You can still perform this virtual RAID drive, perform raw recovery, and search for the lost volumes in it.

Yes, in order to perform RAID Recovery, the software requires all your member RAID drives. You also need to specify proper sequencing of these drives for successful recovery.

Yes, most of the times, the data is recoverable after re-formatting the RAID 5 volume, depending upon the way that how you’ll re-format the drive. Using Windows, if we do a re-formatting of a volume, then, it will create what exactly appear to a ‘clean’ new volume; but, the original data will still appear on the disk in the ‘Free and Available’ space. However, a low-level format, which has been performed by the RAID controller utility will completely ‘Wipe’ overwrite every single block on a drive. A low-level format is slower than high – level format.

If you have deleted a partition then you can easily recover it using the ‘Can’t Find Drive’ feature of the RAID drive recovery software.

A RAID system can fail and data becomes inaccessible due to:

  • RAID Controller Failure
  • Multiple RAID Hard disk Failure
  • Intermittent drive failure resulting in RAID degradation
  • Accidental reformatting of drives or whole RAID array
  • Failed Rebuild or Lost RAID Array configuration etc.
  • Immediate RAID Server Crash due to Power issues
  • Application/software corruption etc.

Stellar Data Recovery Technician supports 300+ file types and allows you to add additional file types apart from those already mentioned in File Lists. Using Add Header option, user can add a new file type or edit an existing file type to facilitate the RAID data recovery process.

The importance of using Drive Monitor is that you can use it to prevent drive failure or corruption of your drive by regularly checking the health, performance and current temperature. If you notice that the health and performance of drives are low, clone your hard drive to remove bad sectors. The reason being, bad sectors in hard drives are a leading cause of poor health and performance.

Yes, you can recover the data lost from 4K hard drives using Stellar data recovery software. The tool works with all leading make and models of 4K drives/

Yes, the software fully supports dual-screen setups and enables a native data recovery experience.
