R-Linux is a free recovery tool for Ext2 / Ext3 / Ext4 (Linux) file systems that restores data from power failure, system crash, virus infection or reformatted partition, even for different file systems.
One of the best features of R-Linux is its unformat and unerase tool, which allows you to undo operations and recover lost data. Additionally, the utility creates image files of the entire disk, partition, or a part of it, which can be processed like a regular drive.
Another advantage is its recognition and parsing of Dynamic, Basic and BSD partitions layout schema. It also offers localized names support. With R-Linux, recovered files can be saved on any disk accessible by the host operating system, including network drives.
The software is easy to install on a Windows machine or on an Intel-compatible x86 or 64-bit CPU machine. It runs flawlessly on any of the following operating systems: Fedora 12+, Ubuntu / Kubuntu 10.4+, Debian 4.0+ or any kernel 2.6+ Linux distribution capable of installing .rpm or .deb packages.
Overall, R-Linux is a fantastic tool for any Linux user looking to recover lost data. Its user-friendly interface and impressive feature set make it a must-have in any data recovery toolbox.
