Software update: version 5.4 released

The next regular update to UFS Explorer software (software version 5.4) is the usual, free update for users of version 5 software and is recommended for installation. Users of previous software versions (4 and below) may move to version 5.4 of the software according to terms and conditions of UFS Explorer software upgrade policy. The software is available for download from download section of UFS Explorer web site.

What's new in this update

It mostly introduces new features and enchantments to previous software versions. It also includes fixes for several stability and usability issues. The new key features include:

EFS support
Since version 5.4 all UFS Explorer software can recover also lost or deleted files with applied Windows File Encryption (or so-called Encrypted Files System - EFS). The software will not decrypt encrypted data, however it can restore encrypted file at safe target location. If operating system or target location do not support EFS, the software will save encrypted files in format of backup for later encrypted file restoration with free "EFS Restoration Tool" included into UFS Explorer for Windows pack.

Extension to RAID6
There are implemented more Reed-Solomon code based algorithms for data recovery after double storage failure in RAID6. Most RAID6 configuration are now supported, including Hewlett Packard ADG.

Legacy OS support
For outdated systems running Windows NT4, Windows 2000 or Windows XP before service pack it was introduced special software build marked as "Legacy OS". The software will run on any OS platform starting Windows NT4.0 with Service Pack 6 and later. Some minor (later OS specific) functions however will not work in this software build.

More accurate XFS recovery
In version 5.4 the software will recover files names and directory structure more accurately for better final result.
