RS Partition Recovery review
A cross-platform recovery tool for lost partitions, damaged volumes, and disk images.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
RS Partition Recovery is a paid recovery application for retrieving deleted files, lost partitions, and data from formatted, RAW, corrupted, or inaccessible volumes. It is aimed at home users, IT professionals, and businesses working across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Recovery is read-only, and users can preview files before deciding what to recover. The product also supports virtual-machine disk recovery and sector-by-sector disk imaging for more controlled recovery workflows.
The licensing structure separates personal recovery from professional and service work. Home Version includes one license for one PC or server, lifetime free upgrades, and free technical support. Home Version + Virtual Machine adds virtual-machine support while retaining the single-PC-or-server license. Business Version includes virtual-machine support, services to third parties, and an unlimited license for PCs and servers, along with lifetime free upgrades and free technical support. An evaluation edition supports scanning and previewing recoverable data, while saving recovered files requires a license.
Its strongest technical fit is recovery across varied storage layouts and file systems. Supported partition-table types include MBR, GPT, Hybrid MBR/GPT, Apple Partition Map, BSD Disklabel, and Dynamic Disks. File-system coverage includes NTFS, FAT32, FAT16, exFAT, APFS, HFS+, HFS, Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, XFS, Btrfs, ReFS, UFS, VMFS, ZFS, and ReiserFS. Quick and deep scans, MBR/GPT reconstruction, a hex viewer, and export to FTP, network shares, or cloud storage add scope beyond basic deleted-file recovery. Choose it when cross-platform coverage, partition reconstruction, or imaging matters; choose another option if free file saving or a single narrowly focused recovery workflow is the priority.
