Vmfs Recovery offers a safe, easy way to recover information stored on VMFS-formatted disks. Like any other storage media, VMware disks can get damaged by software and hardware faults. Bad blocks and physical corruption of hard drives storing the virtual disk images can also cause corruption to VMware images.
Recover Information from Healthy and Damaged VMFS Drives
Vmfs Recovery can recover data from healthy and corrupted virtual disk images used by VMware vSphere 5, ESX/ESXi VMware(R) ESX Server(tm) in fully automated mode. As VMware employs VMFS, its very own file system to store virtual machines, Vmfs Recovery works equally well in quick and full recovery modes.
Recover VMDK Disks from ESX Servers
Recovering VMDK images from ESX servers is a two-step process. First, Vmfs Recovery will repair the ESX/ESXi storage to gain access to individual virtual PCs stores in these partitions. After that, individual virtual machines represented with their VMDK disks can be extracted, and a standard data recovery process can be launched.
Remote Recovery
Information is
retrieved online over the network without the need to physically access the actual server hosting the virtual PCs. There’s absolutely no need to shut down the host computer or remove hard drives containing the virtual servers.
Recover VMware Partitions from Damaged Hard Drives and Faulty RAID Arrays
VMFS disks can be recovered from damaged, corrupted and inaccessible physical hard drives and RAID arrays, including corrupted RAIDs and broken arrays with or without the original RAID controller installed.
