We finally listened to our customers. While we still think GetDataBack is very intuitive and easy to use, we gave it a comprehensive context-sensitive help file. When you feel you are stuck, simply press F1 and let the help system help you out.
- Free RAID Recovery is free and it can reconstruct most known RAID types, namely RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 0+1, RAID 1+0, and RAID 6. Our RAID Recovery software is capable of recovering array parameters such as start offset, block size, member disks and data order, parity position and rotation.
- Create a disk set using Disk Utility on Mac. You can create a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) set to optimize storage performance and increase reliability in case of a disk failure. You can also create a set that concatenates smaller disks to act as one larger disk.
- The ntfs-3g stable version 2012.1.15 does not yet support changing NTFS UUID. The blkid command from util-linux v2.20+ or libparted 2.4+ is required for nilfs2 detection. The blkid command from util-linux v2.23+ is required for f2fs detection. The blkid command.
- Apple is increasing its support for APFS on its computing platforms, bringing the ability to use Time Machine with an APFS-formatted disk to macOS Big Sur, while enabling the ability to view.
This cool gadget lets you map global RAID sectors to sectors on a local member drive. See charts about the relation between the global RAID space and the individual RAID member drives. Supports RAID-0, RAID-5, RAID-6, delayed RAID-5 (HP-SmartArray).

Disk Utility User Guide
Apple File System (APFS) allocates disk space on demand. When a single APFS container (partition) has multiple volumes, the container’s free space is shared and can be allocated to any of the individual volumes as needed. Each volume uses only part of the overall container, so the available space is the total size of the container, minus the size of all volumes in the container.
On your computer, macOS is installed on a set of volumes known as a volume group. The volume group consists of one volume used for the system files (named Macintosh HD) and another volume used for data (named Macintosh HD - Data).
Add an APFS volume
Each volume you add to an APFS container can have a different APFS format, if needed.
- In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, select an existing APFS volume in the sidebar, then click the Add Volume button in the toolbar.If Disk Utility isn’t open, click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, type Disk Utility in the Search field, then click the Disk Utility icon .
- Enter a name for the new APFS volume.
- Click the Format pop-up menu, then choose an APFS format.
- If you want to manually manage APFS volume allocation, click Size Options, enter values in the fields, then click OK.
- Reserve Size: The optional reserve size ensures that the amount of storage remains available for this volume.
- Quota Size: The optional quota size limits how much storage the volume can allocate.
- Click Add.
- When the operation is finished, click Done.
Delete an APFS volume
When you delete a volume, all the data on the volume is permanently erased, and the volume is removed from the container.
