R-Linux is a free file data recovery software 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.

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.
