In their own words
Active@ File Recovery
Active@ File Recovery recovers deleted or lost files and data from damaged, formatted, or deleted partitions and volumes on Windows. It supports file systems including NTFS, ReFS, FAT, exFAT, HFS+, APFS, XFS, JFS, UFS, BtrFS, and Ext2/3/4. The software can scan for files by signature, including user-defined signatures, and works with listed storage such as HDDs, SSDs, USB drives, NVMe devices, flash drives, and memory cards.
For damaged arrays, it can virtually rebuild RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and Span. It can create and open raw or raw-compressed disk images and work with VMware and VirtualPC HDD images. The Ultimate package adds a WinPE boot disk and Linux-based LiveCD for recovery when a computer will not boot. The downloadable demo allows free recovery only for files up to 64 KB. Paid licenses are one-time purchases: personal licenses are for non-commercial use, while corporate licenses cover business, academic, or government use. LSoft Technologies has operated since 1999 and is based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
