Introduction
RAID Reconstructor usage
Tools for examining and recovering your RAID
XOR Test
Verify the checksum over your drive set
Entropy Test
Measure the randomness of your data
RAID Calculator
Map sectors between the RAID and its individual drives
MFT Report
List MFT records in NTFS-formatted drives
File System Report
List file system structures found on the individual drives
RaidProbe
Create a RaidProbe and let us find the RAID parameters
Scripting
Write scripts to extract or modify data
Creating an Image File
Image individual drives
Create XOR VIM
Create parity drive for current set
Show Checksums
Display checksums for currently open drives
Virtual Image
Syntax of Virtual Image files (VIM)
Examples
RAID Reconstructor case studies
1: Hardware RAID-5 with 3 drives
Typical hardware RAID analysis
2: Hardware RAID-5 with a missing drive
Typical hardware RAID analysis when one drive is missing
3: Software RAID-5 with 4 drives
Typical software RAID on a Windows Dynamic Disk set
4: Hardware RAID-0 (Striping)
Typical hardware striped RAID analysis
5: NAS Software RAID-5
NAS recovery on a Iomega StorCenter IX4-200D
