PC, Mac and Linux Disk and Hard Drive Recovery

R-STUDIO

Mac, Linux & PC Disk Recovery,
and Hard Drive Recovery Tool!

Have you accidentally deleted some data?

Is your hard drive all of a sudden not letting you access the drive?

Does your computer say that it needs to "format the drive" before it can be used?

Does it seem like your hard drive maybe has died?!

Well, R-Studio Recovery software from R-Rools might be your saving grace!

Empowered by the new unique data recovery technologies, R-STUDIO is the most comprehensive data recovery solution for recovery files from NTFS, NTFS5, ReFS, FAT12/16/32, exFAT, HFS/HFS+ and APFS (Macintosh), Little and Big Endian variants of UFS1/UFS2 (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD/Solaris) and Ext2/Ext3/Ext4 FS (Linux) partitions. It also uses raw file recovery (scan for known file types) for heavily damaged or unknown file systems. It functions on local and network disks, even if such partitions are formatted, damaged, or deleted. Flexible parameter settings give you absolute control over data recovery.

Ransomware Infection? This could help!!

Ransomware infections are a very real and very serious problem that general computer users, and businesses alike, should be prepared for!

First off, the best prevention to start with is to have good security software installed that can protect you from Ransomware infections (such as Malwarebytes Anti-malware, Kaspersky Antivirus, etc).
Secondly, have a good data backup system in place that follows the 3-2-1 backup rule to keep your data safe!

The 3-2-1 backup rule simply states that you should have:

3 copies of your data (your main data and 2 backup copies)
On two different media types (NAS drive and a thumb drive)
With one copy off-site for disaster recovery (cloud backup, etc).

If you do get hit with a ransomware infection, the website below can help you identify which ransomware you were infected with and if there is a de-encryption tool available to help get your data/files back: https://id-ransomware.malwarehunterteam.com/

Simple Automatic Backup

Quick Computer/Laptop Tip:

If your laptop has an SD card slot and you don't have a data backup system in place, you can use an SD card to set up an automatic backup of your Windows computer!
No clunky external hard drive is needed if you aren't storing a ton of stuff!

Snag a compatible 128, 256, or 512GB Class 10 U3 V30 or better SD card off of Amazon
Pop that little chip into the card reader slot on your laptop.
Open up the "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)" system utility from the Windows Control Panel.
Select the installed SD card as your backup destination and continue with, and complete, the backup configuration!
Then just leave the SD card plugged in, and the computer will automatically backup to the installed SD as scheduled!

That's it! 🙌
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy; your data is now automatically backed up!
