I've been using R-Studio as my default program to recover client data from clone to client destination drives for many years. However, for the past year, I'm constantly getting clients complaining because their files are missing because R-Studio keeps dropping critical folders from the recovery...usually the entire Users folder. However, I just encountered a case where I thought I was smart to recover just the Users folder and just discovered that it decided not to copy the entire Documents folder.

I'm going to contact R-Studio to see if I can get a link to download the latest version just before they broke it last year.

In the meantime, what are you using as an alternative?

UFS Explorer is our primary data recovery software for many years already.

http://www.ufsexplorer.com/products.php

Never been looking for alternatives and don't think that ever will be.
No client complains either.

Problem with UFS is that it's unstable. I've had that program crash out 3/4 of the way through scanning a drive too many times.

Personally I'd prefer to keep using R-Studio, if they'd just fix the stupid Users folder glitch they added in. Or at the very least, provide back versions (something I've been begging for) to those with a tech license.

Anyone out there got a version of R-Studio tech before they broke it? I have the license, just don't have the installer.

Well,
If i start with my share of issues with this a lot of you will say i am bitching like i was told in rtt thread in the forums .Anyone Who Like To Experiment should take a few drives with NTSF " Forget Other File Systems " . Just Use The Following

1 : Getdataback NTFS
2 : This Rstudio
3 : Anything you like " might be dimity sir UFS " .

Well then scan a few drives coming for recovery and you will know what i mean .I wonder how 500GB HDD files become In TB's In Rstudio after the scan .The Most Perfect of all of these with tight analysis virtually perfect most of the time is getdataback .Might be i am a bitch as far as rstudio is concerned .How the hell would you have explain creation of so so soooooooo many vob files and what not in raw analysis .Am i missing something here

I'd like to start using RS again :-)

Have you tested it?

Sorry but 160829 does not solve the problem, still the same = back to UFS
Please remove or make a switch to disable linking.

Yep, just paid a other years licence so I could install the "fixed" version.

Still same old annoying "feature", nothing changed.

Total waste of time and money :-(

Rstudio back in the drawer to gather dust.....

Don't suppose that they will give you your money back? I haven't had a chance to test it out myself.

I've had this issue for many years where you checkmark the data you want copied and R-Studio only copies what it wants. If I do use R-Studio these days, which is rare, I always make sure the total file number and gigabytes match whats actually on the target drive. But for the most part I just use PC3000 due to lack of trust with the software.

The problem is that we actually cannot reproduce the issue. When we (and me personally) recover the entire file system of a system disk, everything is recovered properly. And when we recover the Users folder only, everything is recovered properly. I suppose that the issue may happen when the file system is damaged somehow, even if it's not clearly visible.
Can anyone provide us with a scan and file system snapshot of a such problem disk? We'll provide an FTP account to upload such files. After all, we are all interested in solving this issue, aren't we?

Really!? You can't replicate it? It does it on every machine I've tried and on quite a few cases. Not every time, but often enough to have to always check.

Aaa Haaa,
Jared I Could Not Stop Laughing as the guy says "Might be your file system is damaged " ,Well this is why we use it right .If file system was not damaged we will use windows to copy data .Sometimes back someone was mentioning that there is a software that looks like Rstudio also " does anyone know the name " .

No, we can't. Really.
Can you provide us with at least one example of such disk? I mean its scan info and FS snapshot to understand what's going on.

I just redid the recovery that got me in hot water with my client. This time, with the updated version, it seems to have worked on the first try. I will get my techs to keep a close eye on things and will report back right away if we encounter any further issues.
