title="Share on Reddit"><img src="/images/social/reddit-share32.png"/></a> </div> <p class="text"> The ReFS file system (Resilient File System) was developed by Microsoft as a substitute for their current file system, NTFS. Initially introduced with Windows Server 2012, it was aiming at gradual migration to all Microsoft Windows operating systems - both desktops and servers. For the desktops, Windows 8.1 was the first Windows that supported this file system. The earlier Windows 10 editions could also work with ReFS, but then Microsoft started gradually discontinuing support for this file system from Windows 10. The ability to create ReFS volumes was removed in Windows 10's 2017 Fall Creators Update, and now it remains only in Windows Enterprise and Pro for Workstations editions. Microsoft continues support for ReFS in Windows 11 Enterprise, Education, and Workstation editions, and in their Server line. </p> <p class="text"> Although ReFS has some features to help solve many internal file system issues, it still isn't completely prone to data loss - especially when such a loss is caused by human error. That's why data recovery from ReFS disks is an important feature in any professional data recovery software. </p> <p class="text"> R-Studio is not an exception. All of its versions are able to recover data from ReFS storage devices. </p> <p class="text"> <b>Important Notes Before We Begin</b><br/> This article only applies to ReFS formatted devices. If you need to recover data from other disks, see our other articles: </p> <ul class="green"> <li>From an NTFS disk (Windows): <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.r-studio.com/Data_Recovery_After_Reformat_NTFS.shtml">Data Recovery from a Re-Formatted NTFS Disk</a></li> <li>From an exFAT/FAT (Windows/macOS/Linux): <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.r-studio.com/Data_Recovery_After_Reformat_exFAT.shtml">Data Recovery from a Re-Formatted exFAT/FAT Disk</a></li> <li>From an HFS disk (Mac OS X): <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.r-studio.com/Data_Recovery_After_Erase_HFS.shtml">Data Recovery from an Erased HFS Disk</a></li> <li>From an APFS disk (macOS): <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.r-studio.com/data-recovery-after-erase-APFS.html">Data Recovery from an Erased APFS Disk</a></li> <li>From an Ext2/3/4FS disk (Linux): <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.r-studio.com/Data_Recovery_After_Reformat_Ext4FS.shtml">Data Recovery from a Re-Formatted Ext2/3/4FS Disk</a></li> <li>From an XFS disk (Linux): <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.r-studio.com/XFS-recovery.html">Data Recovery from an XFS Disk</a></li> </ul> <p class="text"> <b><i>Your disk is in good physical condition</i></b><br/> We presume that your disk is in good physical shape. If not, it's best to seek out the services of a professional data recovery specialist. Beyond checking that the cables are firmly connected, any "do it yourself" data recovery efforts may actually worsen your chances of recovering the data if your disk has a serious physical malfunction. Signs that a disk has a physical failure include: </p> <ul class="green"> <li>The system does not recognize the device at all, or it appears with an unusual or garbled name.</li> <li>A S.M.A.R.T. (<a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.r-studio.com/What-is-SMART.html">Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology</a>) utility warns that a severe hardware failure event has occurred. R-Studio can check S.M.A.R.T. conditions of your disk, and we explain how to do that below.</li> <li>The hard drive makes unusual noises, clicks, or takes a very long time to spin up and initialize.</li> <li>Bad blocks continually appear on the drive.</li> </ul> <p class="text"> All these cases are best handled by qualified data recovery professionals. They have special equipment, software, and, most importantly, the required skills to work with such drives. Neither R-Studio nor other data recovery software will help you in such cases. Moreover, any further tampering with such a drive will surely inflict more damage to your data. Quite often, such damage will render the data completely irrecoverable. </p> <ul class="green"> <li> Before you begin, prepare a storage place large enough to store all recovered files. It may be any disk visible by the operating system including an external or network drive. Do not try to save the files on the disk from which you're going to recover them.</li> <li>If you haven't already, download and install R-Studio. Right now, it is not necessary to buy and register the program. R-Studio in its demo mode allows you to perform all the necessary data recovery operations, except saving the recovered files. This lets you see if it can successfully recover your files and therefore, if it's worth buying. You will not have to re-install or restart R-Studio to register it.</li> <li> Connect the disk to the R-Studio computer. Use the fastest interface available: the SATA ports are the fastest, but the speed of USB 3 is sufficient. USB 2.0 may be too slow for large disks. Please note that some external USB drives may have additional eSATA interfaces.</li> </ul> <p class="text"> <b><i>And one last reminder...</i></b><br/> Do not write anything on the disk from which you're going to recover data! The new data may overwrite your old files, and you may lose them for good. </p> <p class="text"> This article will discuss how to use it to recover data lost by two most common cases. The first case is data recovery from emptied system Trash. The second one is an accidental format of an ReFS partition into another ReFS partition. </p> <p class="text"> <b>Case 1:</b> Several files / folders were moved to Trash and then the Trash was emptied.<br/> <img class="big" style='text-align: center' src="/Disk_Recovery_Articles/ReFS-Recovery/ReFS-Recovery-01.png" width="563" height="253" alt="The folder/file structure and files/folders to delete"/><br/> <i>Click image to enlarge</i><br/><br/> <img class="big" style='text-align: center' src="/Disk_Recovery_Articles/ReFS-Recovery/ReFS-Recovery-02.png" width="563" height="273" alt="The folder/file structure and files/folders to delete"/><br/> <i>Click image to enlarge</i> </p> <p class="text"> <b>The task:</b> To recover these files and folder. </p> <p class="text"> 1.

In the first case (deleted files) all files and folder have been successfully recovered. In the second case (disk format) all files have been successfully recovered, but as raw files, that is, without their names and other attributes. The entire folder structure has not been recovered at all due to the fact that the metadata of the new partition has been written over the metadata of the old partition. </p> <p class="text"> You may perform all these steps in the demo mode to R-Studio, that is, without buying it. If you can successfully find and preview lost files, you can register your copy of R-Studio and save the recovered files. </p> </div></div> <div class="row-blue row-section footer-articles"><div
