Data Salvage, as a company specializing in data restoration and having more than 10 years of history and experience in this area, we achieved stable development and can pride ourselves in high technological strength which allows us to cope not only with logical errors but also perfectly deal in our lab with physical errors in hard disks and reliably save precious data in many cases.
After the Great East Japan earthquake of 03/11/2011, our department located in Sendai city, where our business was established and also which suffered from the earthquake, performed restoration of highly important common data free of charge at the day of the disaster. This deed was born from the vision naturally derived from our social responsibility as data restoring business. Through continuous restoration of common data by installation of consultation office and work base at the place of the disaster, we stronger than before perceived the sociality of data restoring business and confirmed the necessity of technological development and persistent inquisitive spirit in order to accomplish our social responsibility.
The great strength we achieved in data restoration through working with the unprecedented number of more than 1000 hard disks after the earthquake is from the software duplicator, which we were developing at that time. To save affected data it was necessary to duplicate information from damaged hard disks to working recording media and restore the data that could be restored as soon as possible.
The need in software duplicator equipped with unprecedentedly fast and advanced technology became apparent.
Environment surrounding current digital storage has made a drastic change,incomparable to the times when we entered the data recovery business.All kinds of digital storage, such as NAS, RAID, servers, hard disks, etc., contain valuable data which are lifelines of businesses.
This is especially right in the case of cloud storage used to improve the information security and reduce costs when such conditions arise that large amount of data can be stored on one server; this greatly increases the risk of data damage in case of system troubles.
In these conditions, software duplicator, which we named MASAMUNE, became a major force in damaged data recovery, and by devoting ourselves to functional and operability enhancement of our product, we are fully confident that due to information society and ICT technologies development, it has become the powerful solution to protect the increasingly important data for organizations, societies and individual users.
This tool can be used not only for data recovery, but also as a digital forensic tool for preservation of electromagnetic evidence in lawsuits, incidents, fraud, etc.
We continue to hope that our MASAMUNE will play an important role in maintaining the assets of the information society.
Main features of MASAMUNE Clone
MASAMUNE Clone is a specialized software developed by Data Salvage for cloning (duplicating) the information from electronic recording media such as HDDs*. This software duplicator is designed to advance fast data recovery and preservation of evidence required by forensic investigations.
*HDD: hard disk drive.
MASAMUNE Clone is a Linux based software running from CD.
It can reproduce data on external HDD without removing internal HDD from PC.
MASAMUNE Clone reduces the number of read errors using our proprietary algorithm (patent pending).
Proprietary MASAMUNE algorithm based on the experience of Data Salvage, implements physical data reproduction with small number of errors using such methods as thorough read/retry, bad sector skipping, reverse reading, etc.
*Our proprietary algorithm is submitted for international patent application not only for software duplication but in much more wider area.
MASAMUNE Clone Product Lineup
MASAMUNE Clone product lineup consists from three products: data recovery software MASAMUNE Clone Recovery edition, MASAMUNE Clone Forensic Edition software with functions for digital forensic, and MASAMUNE Clone Enterprise Edition which contains both data recovery and forensic functions necessary for BCP activities of businesses. We also have customizable and functional extension products.
