Working with RAID 6 Presets
An image is an exact, byte by byte, copy of any object on the Drives panel . When created, images can be processed like their original objects.
Images are very useful if there is a risk of total data loss due to hardware malfunction. If bad blocks are constantly appearing on a hard drive, you must immediately create an image of this drive. All data search, scan and restoring can be done from this image.
While creating images, R‑Studio for Linux can simultaneously perform disk scan and save scan information to lessen time necessary to process the disk.
The image can be saved on the remote computer if it is created via network . R‑Studio for Linux can also load and process images created with the DeepSpar Disk Imager™ .
To create an image ,
1 | Select an object on the R‑Studio for Linux 's Drives panel and click the Create Image button |
• Select the object and select Create Image on the Drive menu or • Right-click the selected object and select Create Image File on the context menu |
2 | Specify image options, a file name, and destination for the image on the Create Image dialog box |
Note: To store an image file, you need a free space equal to at least the object size.
Image name |
Specifies the name and path for the image file |
Image type: |
Compressed image (R-Drive Image compatible): If this option is selected, R‑Studio will create an image file which can be compressed, split into several parts, and password-protected. This image file is fully compatible with the images created by R-Drive Image , but incompatible with very old versions of R‑Studio . Byte by byte image to a file: If this option is selected, R‑Studio will create a simple exact copy of the object. VMDK (ViMware Virtual Machine Disk) image: If this option is selected, R‑Studio will create an image of the VMware virtual disk type. Available in the Corporate, Technician, and T80+ license. Byte to byte image to a physical disk : R‑Studio will create an exact copy of the disk on another hard drive. Data on the target drive will be overwritten. Available in the Corporate, Technician, and T80+ license. Some other image formats are also available in the Technician, and T80+ licenses. You may read more about these formats in the Supported Virtual Disk and Disk Image Formats page. |
Image compression ratio |
You may compress the data in the image to save space. Active only if the Compressed image (R-Drive Image compatible) is selected. |
Estimated size |
Shows the estimated size of the image file. An actual image size depends on how much empty space is on the selected partition and what file types are there . Active only if the Compressed image (R-Drive Image compatible) is selected. |
Image split size |
You may set this option to Automatic and let the OS decide how to split the image file. This mostly depends on the file system on the destination disk. You may also either explicitly specify the split size, or choose a preset for various devices with removable storage. Select Fixed size for that. Active only if the Compressed image (R-Drive Image compatible) is selected. |
Password Encrypt image |
You may protect your image file with a password. Note: If you leave the Encrypt image option clear this feature will provide a relatively moderate protection against conventional unauthorized access. If this option is selected, R‑Studio will encrypt the image using the AES-XTS algorithm. Note: Only files in the RDR format can be password protected and encrypted. |
Create scan information file |
If this option is selected, R‑Studio for Linux will perform disk scan simultaneously with image creation. See the Disk Scan help page to learn scan options. |
Read retires |
Specifies a value for I/O Tries , or how many times R‑Studio for Linux will try to read a bad sector . R‑Studio for Linux treats bad sectors in the following way: It reads a certain part of disk (predefined by Windows) and • If Default read attempts is set to 0, the entire part with bad sectors will be filled with the specified pattern. • If Default read attempts is set to a non-zero value, R‑Studio for Linux reads again that part sector by sector, repeating the attempts the specified number of times. If R‑Studio for Linux still cannot read a bad sector, it fills the sectors with the specified pattern. In this case only the bad sectors will be filled with the pattern, but that extremely slows the disk read process. For example, if you set Default read attempts to 1, a bad sector will be read 2 times. |
Pattern to fill bad blocks |
Specifies a pattern R‑Studio for Linux will use to fill bad sectors in this image. You may specify the pattern either in the ANSI or Hex data format. Note: R‑Studio for Linux will never ever try to write anything on the disk from which data is to recover or an image is to create. This pattern fills bad sectors only in the image. |
Enable multi-pass image creation |
These options are available only in the Technician/T80+ versions. Read more about these options in the I/O Monitor and Sector Map files and Multi-pass imaging help page. |
If a remote computer is connected for Data Recovery over Network , the Save Image File dialog box will appear when you select a place to store the image. You may save it to the local or remote computer.
These options are available only in the Technician/T80+ versions.
Additional output folders |
Additional output folders where image files will be stored when R-Studio for Linux runs out of space. |
Shutdown the computer on task completion |
If this check box is selected, R‑Studio for Linux will shut down your computer when image creation has been completed. |
E-Mail notifications |
If this check box is selected, R‑Studio for Linux will inform you about the outcome of the operation via email. |
> | R‑Studio for Linux will start creating the image, the Progress message showing the progress. |
You may change some options during the imaging process. Click the Options button and change them as necessary/
You may stop the imaging process and then resume it later on. Click the Stop button and the Cancel drive operation dialog box will appear. Select Stop if yo want to keep the partially created image or Discard if you don't need this image file.
To resume the creation of the image for the same object, select the same file name for the image. You'll be able to create a new image file or continue to create the image for the object.
R‑Studio for Linux will create a new file for every new start of imaging for the .rdi and .vmdk file types.
To process an already created Image , the image file should be opened.
To open an image
1 | Click the Open Image button , or |
Select Open Image File on the Drive menu
If a remote computer is connected for Data Recovery over Network , the Open Image File dialog box will appear when you select a place to load the image file from. You may load it from the local or remote computer.
2 | Select the required image file |
If the image is a multi-volume one, and not all parts are at the same place, the dialog box will appear
Specify paths to other image parts and click the OK button.
> | An Image object will appear on the Drives panel |
Depending whether this is a byte-by-byte , compressed ( R-Drive Image compatible), multi-volume , or VMDK image, its appearance in the Drives panels is different.
You may perform all data search, scan, and recovery from this image as it were a regular drive/disk object.
